<holidayfyi-glossary slug="black-friday"></holidayfyi-glossary>The day after American Thanksgiving, traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season and now one of the biggest retail sales days of the year globally. The term originally referred to the heavy traffic and mayhem of the day; retailers later claimed it marked the point where their accounts moved 'into the black' (profit). Black Friday sales have spread to countries worldwide, including the UK, Germany, Brazil, and Australia.
