Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales in many Commonwealth countries.
In 2011, the Black Friday date is November 25, and the next 2012 is November 23.

Black Friday History
The Black Friday’s name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.
Black Friday Meaning
Using of the term “Black Friday” began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975.
Later, Black Friday indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit.
Because Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, the day after occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.
