Black Friday has changed drastically since it started in the 60s. Originally, the term “Black Friday” was used by weary Philadelphia police officers to describe the shopping day after Thanksgiving, when the streets were clogged with pedestrians and vehicles. However, later on it was also called Black Friday to mark the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, when stores moved from the “red” to the “black” (from loss to profit).
Here’s what the mayhem was like last year for Black Friday 2011 at Target in California. Will you be braving the crowds or shopping online?
According to history For millions of people Black Friday is the time to do some serious Christmas shopping –even before the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone! Black Black is the Friday after Thanksgiving, and it’s one of the major shopping days of the year in the United States -falling anywhere between November 23 and 29. While it’s not recognized as an official US holiday, many employees have the day off -except those working in retail.

The term “Black Friday” was coined in the 1960s to mark the kickoff to the Christmas shopping season. “Black” refers to stores moving from the “red” to the “black,” back when accounting records were kept by hand, and red ink indicated a loss, and black a profit. Ever since the start of the modern Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been known as the unofficial start to a bustling holiday shopping season.

Target, not a usual participant in the big first weekend of November sales, has apparently decided to jump head-first into the fray this year as the front page of their upcoming weekly ad has leaked… and it’s very impressive.
Featuring only two items and none of the typical “Hotter than Black Friday” claims, Target is letting the $197 price-tag speak for itself. Both the Westinghouse VR3215 32″ 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV and Acer A0722-0473 11.6″ Notebook will be on sale for $197 this Sunday, November 6. No word to if these will also be available online, but we’re not holding our breath. Both the TV and laptop will certainly sell out quickly, so be sure to get to Target early this Sunday if you’re interested.
This is also the time of year to go out and purchase your annual ugly Christmas Sweater to show off at those Christmas parties.
