Rep Power: 21 | A Black Friday Primer Compiled from staff and wire reports.New York Newsday11/26/2004 03:00 AM Black Friday in retailing is the day after Thanksgiving, which marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. It's not black because it's gloomy. It gets its name because historically, sales at this time can determine whether a retailer's year is profitable, pushing them out of the red and into the black. Shoppers in 2003 spent $7.3 billion on Black Friday. Almost one third of shoppers plan to shop this weekend. Black Friday is no longer the most crucial weekend in the holiday retail season. The honor usually goes to the weekend before Christmas. The busiest single hour of the season will be 3 to 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve. U.S. households will spend an average of $476 on gifts this season, up from $455 a year ago. Gift cards are the top holiday presents this year, according to a Deloitte & Touche survey of 16,000 consumers. |

Rep Power: 68 | I think "Black Friday" is also Friday the 13th, the day that Templar Knights were imprisoned, tortured, and killed by the Pope and the King of France. I don't remember the year, or if I'm confusing this black Friday with stock market crash that heralded the beginning of the Great Depression, or some terrorist thing in Ireland. |
