Here in the US The day after Thanksgiving day which is always
traditionally held on a Thursday, the following day Friday is the day
people start shopping for Christmas gifts in the Malls and stores.
This day is called Black Friday. It is also a day associated
with big sales and large savings in order to entice customers into their
stores. So this excellent promotion offered is rightly named.
The Black refers to the Economy or the Retail Stores being
in the "black" (making money) instead of red (losing money)
