Black Friday

 

BLACK FRIDAY is that day when retailers, on their ledgers and accounting books, move from red ink (indicating a loss) to black ink (indicating a profit).

It is that simple and has nothing to do with African Americans or any kind of RACIAL SLUR...

This day, the day after Thanksgiving, the retail stores usually have long lines on the sidewalks waiting for the stores to open.

Yes, there are usually good sales, but there is also a "tonne" of people in the stores that are all fighting (sometimes) for one item.

I would never be that foolish, myself, to shop on this day even if I was able to save money.  However, there are a lot of people that do not share my sentiments and are out there waiting before sunrise to get a good place in line.

Many people have scoped out the store(s) the day before and know exactly where the items are located that they want to purchase.

I am home, in my flannels, warm and cozy drinking cappuccino and dunking a cake doughnut in the hot liquid, just long enough to be a little mushy but not falling apart.
