	Black Friday - GRA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, is historically one of the busiest retail shopping days of the year.

	Black Friday (shopping) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Black Friday is frequently but erroneously referred to in the media as the busiest retail shopping day of the year.
		The earliest uses of "Black Friday" refer to the heavy traffic on that day, an implicit comparison to the extremely stressful and chaotic experience of Black Tuesday (the 1929 stock-market crash) or other fl days.
		Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period where retailers would no longer have losses (the red) and instead take in the year's profits (the fl).

	BlackFridayWatch.com: So This is Black Friday?

		Ellen Tolley Davis, a spokesperson for the NRF, highlights the fact that Black Friday’s importance does not lie solely in the day’s receipts.
		Recognizing Black Friday as an embodiment of this idea, advertising for its own sake, might be vindication enough for some of the scorners.
