Black Friday according to me is just a day on which shops put these big sales and people shop like crazy but the surprising part is that the shopping start at midnight to noon, really?! Couldn't they just hold the whole sale during the day, how hard is that? But then we always have to toil for the things we get in life, well nothing comes easy :-)
Although I don't get this part of the American culture, I am greatly looking forward to experiencing it as it reminds me of the shopping festival in Tanzania called "sabasaba" which is pretty much similiar to black Friday but the only difference is that sabasaba lasts for about two weeks and does not open at midnight :-)
I think part of it is that the retailers are trying to make more money. Recently the stores started opening at 5 a.m. and now most are open at midnight. I'd rather go at midnight than at 4 a.m. I am definitely a night owl!
