Hi! This is Palme School. Black Friday is coming up! You can get a hot offer from Palme School here.
In the meantime, we'll tell you where the tradition of shopping at big discounts on Black Friday came from.
Black Friday is not fixed to a specific date, but is celebrated on the last Friday in November. In 2024, it will be November 29. It's not an official holiday, but many Americans take the day off to enjoy shopping at very low prices. And some stores are open from early morning or even midnight.
Black Friday came to Russia only in the 2000s, but it has become firmly established and has been accompanying shoppers for more than twenty years.
It all started with Thanksgiving. In the United States, this holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, with Black Friday following close behind.
Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays in U.S. culture. Americans set a big table, cook turkey, and gather close friends and family. They take such a responsible approach to the holiday that they may even squabble if things don't go according to plan, as in some of their favorite holiday sitcoms.
