It is hard to believe that there is actually a day called Black Friday. I had no idea what it meant, I knew that it had something to do with the Friday after Thanksgiving where everyone wakes up early and goes shopping. Do you actually know why it is called Black Friday? The meaning of Black Friday is that the retailers are turning a profit. I think that it is amazing that even with this economy and how bad it is there were still lines out the door and stores were still having such big discounts and sales. I went to Old Orchard at 7:30am and it was really crowded already. There were great deals and everyone there had at least two big bags walking around. I think that it is cool that even though the economy is down, people still have traditions of going shopping for their Christmas presents on that day and will follow through with their tradition no matter what. I was looking at the Newspaper and all the articles were talking about how much stores made during Black Friday, and the articles all made it sound like they were surprised. I know people who woke up at 4am because that's what they do every year, and wait in line for the stores to open. Even the bad economy and things going on people still need Christmas presents and still want to do what they have done all along. One thing that some one did a long time ago, has turned into an unofficial holiday that people have traditions for. Do you think that anything even such a bad economy can stop people from living out traditions?
