Black Friday
Black Friday, or Retail Black Friday is the day after American Thanksgiving. It is one of the two busiest shopping days of the year. In case you didn’t know, the other busiest shopping day is the day after Christmas, when throngs of shoppers, on holiday vacation, mob the stores to use gift certificates they received, and to exchange merchandise.
Why Black??
In the world of accountants, red signifies a loss, and black signifies a profit. For many retailers, the Christmas holiday sales season represents one half to three quarters of their annual sales. Often, retailers are losing money , until holiday sales begin. Holiday sales formally begin on the day after Thanksgiving. So, Black Friday represents that turning point,. from a loss towards big profits!
We hope you enjoy Black Friday almost as much as the retailers do!
Wild as it may seem, there is another interesting special day, celebrated on the day after Thanksgivng. It is called Buy Nothing Day.

Frankenstein Friday
Frankenstein Friday
When: last Friday in October
Frankenstein Friday celebrates the birth of Frankenstein’s monster and its creator. Frankenstein’s monster is one of the best known horror characters, dating back to the 1800’s. We can’t imagine the Halloween season without the presence of Frankenstein lurking somewhere in the darkness.
Frankenstein was born when Mary Wollenstonecraft Shelley, at the wrote the story “Frankenstein”. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley’s name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.
To celebrate this day, we suggest you read the novel, or see a Frankenstein movie (1940’s classics from Universal featuring Boris Karloff as the monster are the best!)
Ron MacCloskey, the creator of this special day, by awarding “The Franky” to someone who has made a significant contribution to the promotion of Frankenstein. Maybe next year, you will receive the coveted “Franky” award.
