For the last 10 years it has been a tradition for my nieces to come visit on the Friday after Thanksgiving. “Black Friday” as it is called here in the United States, is a major retail shopping day, and we spend the day shopping and they sleep over and spend Saturday with us. It is called black Friday because the amount of retail sales generated would put retailers back in the black and out of the red in their books.
The girls started coming when they were 7 years old, and I figured by the time they entered their teens the novelty would have worn off. I was wrong. They told me they consider it a “tradition” – and they laugh that even after they eventually get married they would still come.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard that it’s called Black Friday because that was the shopping day that a lot of retailers were finally in the black on sales for the year.
