The holiday season is finally here! Snow is coming in, the crisp cool air is finally staying for the remainder of the season, and in a little under 2 months, Christmas!! Soon you will be waking up on the 25th of December, running to the tree grabbing the gifts that have your name written all over it, and having your parents watch the glee on your face as the gifts are revealed under the seasonal gift wrap. Take a second though and think how did those presents become yours? We used to believe that a jolly magical figure from the North Pole brought presents by going down our chimney. But as we grew up, we realized that Santa was not the real culprit; your parents spent money on the gifts in which you now possessed in your hands at that moment.
Before Christmas can become Christmas, Thanksgiving must come first. Everyone knows that on Thanksgiving Day, you usually eat food and spend time with your family. The day after, however, is just as well known. “Black Friday,” the day right after the day in which you stuff yourself with food, is the day in which people from all over the nation wake up at all hours of the night in order to stand in line to get those presents that you open on Christmas morning. Stores open their doors anywhere from midnight until four in the morning for customers wanting the deals seen in the ads sent out weeks earlier.
Black Friday is a massive shopping day for all ages, young and old. In years past, lines have wrapped around the entire building of a store and might even reach the parking lot. When those doors open, a wave of people enter the building looking for that perfect item. Stores, such as Wal-Mart, only allow certain things to go on sale every hour to stop such a crowd keep their doors open all night long. For example, they would say “Electronics are on sale at midnight, clothes at one” and so on.
Right now, ads are already posted online and awaiting eager people to spot that one perfect product that will make the receiver happier than ever. Ads that are already posted are Macy’s, Sears, Radio Shack, Wal-mart, Target, Kohls, Kmart, Sam’s Club, JCPenney, Toys-R-Us, and many more stores. To find out what is on sale, you can wait eagerly for the ads to appear in your mailbox, either via email or via the postal service, or check online. Their hours for that night should also be posted.
