What is Black Friday?

黑色星期五是最大的销售活动的是的r. The annual shopping holiday traditionally happens at the end of November after Thanksgiving. This year, as has been the case in the past few years, retailers are expected to offer some of the year's best online sales and deals. According toHistory.com, Black Friday started back in 1869 when the price of gold decreased dramatically, causing Wall Street financiers to lose millions. The day came to be known as "Black Friday." Over time, the day has evolved into a term for retailers to help ensure they would be able to finish the year "in the black" with strong profits. While the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas has signified shopping and heavy spending since the Great Depression, the recent rise of online shopping has hinted at the idea ofBlack Friday eventually evolving into “Black November.”
