Historically, the day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, marked the beginning of America’s Christmas shopping season. The origins of the term are a bit murky, but many attribute it to Philadelphia in the 1960s when the heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic turned the day into “Black” Friday.
