Changes

'''Black Friday''' is the name popularly given to the day after [[Thanksgiving]], which is always a [[Friday]] and is a [[holiday]] for most people. The name "Black Friday" comes from the fact that historically it has been the day when stores break into profitability for the full year, so that they are "in the black" rather than "in the red." In recent years, the day has become the most popular day of the year to go shopping and retailers have reported record [[profit]]s. Many people take advantage of this holiday as an opportunity to do all their [[Christmas]] shopping early. Black Friday is commonly criticized as being an inordinate display of [[consumerism]], though it is often celebrated in the media with previews and discussions on upcoming sales.
