BLACK FRIDAY
I definitely will be staying home today. I don't like mall shopping all that well even when it's not crowded, let alone ''Black Friday'', the day after Thanksgiving. It is thought to be the busiest retail shopping day of the year. Although Black Friday is typically the busiest shopping day of the year in terms of customer traffic (including full parking lots, massive lines, stores letting only a set amount of people in at a time, and people fighting over products) it is not typically the day with the highest sales volume. That is usually either Christmas Eve, the last Saturday before Christmas, or Christmas Eve.

I think the busiest day is the Saturday or Sunday before. People are only in the stores today because they have the day off and it's something to do. It has nothing to do with Christmas.
I totally agree. "Black Friday" is a day that people look for things to do and that's all. Noboday actually "buys" Christmas presents (although of course a lot do) but it's a smaller percentage than those who actually "buy" the weekened before Christmas.
