The day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005. Most shops offer great deals on Black Friday.

Shops open their doors very early in the morning. They try to attract customers with big discounts. Some items like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store. Black Friday is a great time to get good deals.

The problem is that there are not enough lowpriced items for everyone. Each shop may only have a few. These items are in high demand. People stand in long lines to get such great deals. They may line up hours before a shop opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or laptop, but not everyone who wants one will get one. The situation can be dangerous, people start fighting and even shooting.

So where does the name "Black Friday" come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, shops tried to rename the day "Big Friday." It did not stick. The name "Black Friday" continued to spread across the country. Now people all over the USA take part in the event known as Black Friday. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Shops have held Black Friday events in the U.K., Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Costa Rica Black Friday is known as "Viernes Negro." And in Mexico, stores offer an annual weekend of discounts. They call it "El Buen Fin," which means "the good weekend" in Spanish.
