Black Friday is an exciting shopping day that happens the day after Thanksgiving.
It started because many stores wanted to turn their losses into profits.
Now, people often line up outside stores well before they open, sometimes at midnight!
The crowds can be huge, and shoppers look for amazing deals and discounts.
However, the rise of online shopping has changed things a bit.
Many people prefer to shop from home on Cyber Monday instead.
There’s also a conversation about whether we should focus on consumerism or the true spirit of Thanksgiving.
Some love the thrill of the hunt, while others think we should spend more time with family and less time shopping.
