Words for the day: Black Friday

What is a black Friday?    A shopping frenzy, people waiting in long lines, consumers looking for specific goods  that they will trade for US currency, a full contact sport
What causes a shopping frenzy?  Supply and Demand
Who goes on a shopping frenzy?   I think everyone except me, well and my daughter but that doesn’t really count because her husband went FOR her while she stayed at home with the kids.
Where did the name “Black Friday” originate from?  It first originated in Philadelphia as early as 1966.
Why is it called “Black Friday”?  It is thought of as being the best shopping day of the year, marks the start of Christmas shopping, and is the day retail businesses operate in the black (so my question is, how can stores stay open for 364 days if they are operating in the red?)
How can we help those who went?  Cut them some slack because they probably haven’t had much sleep, love them, and  pray for their safety (hey, I’ve been out there standing in line for hours to get ONE cabbage patch doll so believe me, it’s a jungle out there.)
Anything else?  While you’re talking to God, please remember to mention your family and friends. 
:  )  Happy Black Friday.
