Thanksgiving Dinner/Day

[Soco]

Girls, I love reading and learning about your traditions. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Diane, I found here some interesting information about the origin of the name "Black Friday": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)

Thanks for sharing Soco....

That link takes to a deleted link..for some strange reason, but click on the
DID YOU MEAN: Black Friday Shopping
and it takes you to it....

Thanks for that...I did not know that it was originally an East Coast thing...I knew I had heard this term since I was little girl...about the crazy mad shoppers!!

How funny that we have even heard different origins of our own cultural events!! =)

Fun to read all this!

The only Black Friday that I'm doing is to go to the Christmas tree farm and pick out the tree. And going online to Costco to purchase a BodyBugg. No way do I have the patience to go into that madness!

Oh girls...Look what I just found by my Mental_Floss friends!! They talk about both the meanings for the phrase here! =)
