Black Friday is in November, the day after Thanksgiving Day that marks the informal beginning of the Christmas shopping period. The majority of major retailers have large marketing sales to begin the vacation shopping season.
Black Friday has become that popular in standard traditionals shops that individuals line up for hours and there is lots of push and shoving and even physical violence. Why would you wait in a long line, be pushed and shoved simply to conserve a couple of bucks when online websites like Amazon have massive Black Friday sales and it's a stress free environment.

Black Friday in the US is the biggest shopping day of the year because a lot of the major retail stores offer big discounts on popular products. They figure if they can get as many customers to spend big bucks on the day after Thanksgiving, their bottom line will be "in the black" as opposed to "in the red".

black friday is always the friday after thanksgiving. Many stores have sales on friday and saturday.
There are "door busters" on friday. People will stand in line for items that are extremely discounted. (Driving to my grandparents house at 5 pm I saw people in a tent outside of 5pm...what happened to having thanksgiving dinner with your family)
Stores open at midnight, 4 am, 6 am...
Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in America.

actually black friday refers to the day after thanksgiving when stores start sales for christmas gift buying. it has nothing to do with friday the 13th or bad luck. its just a f***ing busy day for retailers.

I live in Australia but I find it amazing that two english speaking countries use the same words but they mean two different things!
