Black Friday Store Flyers

Ok, I know everybody here in US are excited about the Thanksgiving.  But what I didn't know before as I am fully aware now, having spent 4 months here in NY, was that people here are more excited about Black Friday.

What the heck is Black Friday?

Forgive my ignorance, but growing up in the Philippines, I knew Black Friday was the day Christ was crucified and died on the cross (during Lenten season).  And in Canada, we never heard the term Black Friday either as something to celebrate.

But here in US, I just recently found out that Black Friday means absolute and total madness!  Just look at these photos:
   



Black Friday is like Midnight Madness in the Philippines, and Boxing Day in Canada.  Where people go wildcrazy  in their insane rush for real bargain, drop-down prices of goodies and stuffs. 

Well, that's only my own definition of Black Friday.  Wikipedia deifines it this way:

"Black Friday is a term for the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. The term dates back to at least 1966 and by 2009 it was being used on the local news on television. Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November."

For visual people, like myself, what Black Friday really means is this:

So, go ahead and feast!  For cash and debit card users:  At least you know in advanced how much balance you're gonna have in your bank account after hitting the stores.  And for credit card users: make sure to have someone beside you before you open your bills the next time you get your mail. You might pass out.  lol

Also, a great tip: make sure you visit the online site of the store you're gonna attack to download its map.  It'll surely save you time.

Have fun being pushed and shoved!  Peace!
