Thanksgiving Sales Tips

‘Twas the night after Thanksgiving, and all through the shop — no employees were stirring, in fact they hid for their lives. The sweaters were hung on the hangers with care, in hopes that the Zombie-like customers soon would be there.

There’s a reason the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday — it isn’t because it’s the day that retailers move out of the red and into the black, and it’s not because there have actually been casualties in the rush-to-shop that overtakes normal people and changes them into sale-loving-Zombies (the worst kind of Zombies.)

The real reason — and you’re hearing this here first — is that the Friday after every Thanksgiving sees so many people hit the stores that it actually shifts the Space-Time Continuum just a little. Scientists believe that this will eventually open a black hole (see where we’re going with this?) and send the Earth into another dimension, a strange dimension, perpetually in-between Holidays — where people are always in the midst of digesting a turkey while wondering what terrible sweater to buy a loved one… thus, Black Friday.

2008 Thanksgiving Date

The 2008 Thanksgiving day (the real reason is actually Black Friday - don’t kid yourselves) falls on the 27th of November. Needless to day, that makes the 28th of November, the most anticipated day of the year - 2008 Black Friday!
