Black Friday is a day that some Americans look forward to even more than Christmas. On this day, stores in the U.S. and around the world offer unbelievable sales.
It takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is celebrated on the last Thursday of November.
For many people, this is the only chance in the year to buy expensive goods. Mostly Christmas presents.
Statistically speaking., 20% of U.S. retail sales occur precisely between Black Friday and Christmas. And that shows the magnitude of this phenomenon.
«Black Friday» sale day unofficially began to be called by police officers in the 1950s. And all because of the large influx of people from the suburbs to the big stores. There was a lot of work for them that day.
But the term originally referred to the traditional traffic jams on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Black Friday 2025
Now Black Friday is not just one day, but a whole period of sales. And the tradition of organizing such a period has been picked up by other countries around the world. For many sellers, it is a good opportunity to get rid of stale goods and make a big profit at the end of the year.
Black Friday came to Russia in 2013. But this sale was held a week later. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the main holiday in Russia is New Year's Eve. And it takes place a week later than Catholic Christmas.
Now there are whole weeks and months of discounts in most stores and large chains.
This day is not an official day off or a holiday in any country. But a lot of people take time off for it. Especially in America.
Stores open early in the morning or even at midnight to serve everyone. In stores with maximum discounts, there is often a crush. People literally sweep everything off the shelves.
The tradition of organizing sales with maximum discounts is tightly integrated into all spheres of our life. Including education.
