Black Friday is the day after thanksgiving which is considered traditionally to be a beginning of the season for Christmas shopping. On this day, the retailers and shop owners open extremely early as the number of people coming for purchases is very high. There are many who open the shops as early as 4 am in the morning. This day is not a holiday to be specific; however, there are many employers especially non-retailers who give this day off to their employees, thereby increasing the number of shoppers. The name derives from the nature of business that it does which means that there is so much profit that the retailers are “in the black”. This day is considered to be the busiest day of shopping in a year.
