Black Friday After Thanksgiving Day Sales- Washington, D.C.

Everyone knows the Thanksgiving story of the pilgrims and the Mayflower, of the Native Americans and the corn planted with a dead fish; we all have heard about the shared dinner of wild turkey and harvest grains, the pumpkin pie milkshakes, Coca-Cola and the tall black hats with buckles, the long-running argument over “stuffing” vs. “dressing” between Goody Smith and Reverend John. America knows the story of the first Thanksgiving Day like we know how to draw a hand-outline turkey with orange and brown crayons. We know.

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? Many people believe that the term was born out of the fact that Black Friday is the day that retailers finally get out of the red and into the black as far as revenue goes. But what REALLY happened is that Goody Smith and Reverend John decided that the festive colors of the holiday season were all too much fun and pleasure for the self-denying Puritans, and they went about the colony painting EVERYTHING black so that the fire-tone autumn leaves, red holly berries and bright orange pumpkins did not arouse any good feelings or excitement in the stoic Puritan community. They even painted the turkeys black and commanded that everything sold or given had to be black. But there was a backlash- a blacklash? The Pilgrims could deal with stodgy dresses and ugly shoes, but turning the whole WORLD black? The two anti-fun pioneers soon found themselves painted black with tar and feathers, the rest of the paint was removed and the colony continued on to Christmas with joy and the natural beauty of New England.

And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday, and to this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving, often buying black clothes and electronics just as our ancestors did so many years ago  American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.

Here are THE VERY BEST of BLACK FRIDAY SALES EVENTS for the whole family! Many of these sales actually start midnight on Thanksgiving Day, for the people who can actually move after our National Day of Feasting.

Black Friday After Thanksgiving Day Sales- San Francisco

Everyone knows the Thanksgiving story of the pilgrims and the Mayflower, of the Native Americans and the corn planted with a dead fish; we all have heard about the shared dinner of wild turkey and harvest grains, the pumpkin pie milkshakes, Coca-Cola and the tall black hats with buckles, the long-running argument over “stuffing” vs. “dressing” between Goody Smith and Reverend John. America knows the story of the first Thanksgiving Day like we know how to draw a hand-outline turkey with orange and brown crayons. We know.

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? The pilgrims, the Native Americans, and the dead fish all passed out stone-cold from the giant feast of tryptophantastic turkey and while they were sleeping, SOMEBODY (the turkeys, ahem…) came and stole all of their all clothes, buckled hats, feather headdresses and ALL! How embarrassing! So everyone from little Emily to Flying Eagle loaded up in the back of a giant SUV, drove to the closest mall and bought new wardrobes. Most people think that the Puritans wore all black because of their stodgy beliefs about color provoking pleasure and excitement, but really that was all that was left in the sales bins once they got to the shops around 10AM. You snooze you lose.

And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday, and to this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving, often leaving home very early in the morning so they do not suffer the same fate of black clothing that our ancestors did so many years ago. American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.

Black Friday After Thanksgiving Day Sales- Austin

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? The pilgrims, the Native Americans, the turkeys and the dead fish all loaded up in the back of a giant SUV, drove to the closest mall and shopped their little pioneering hearts out! Little Emily got a whole family of Carebears for 50% off, Flying Eagle bought a new flat screen TV for his wigwam at a steal, Cousin Mayberry got a mule and even grandma came home with a new set of wool slippers which came in really handy during those long New England winters. The term “Black Friday” comes from the fact that those first Thanksgivingers didn’t get home until well past sunset, and in the dark evening shadows of Plymouth Rock, everything was black.

And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday, and to this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving, often arriving home well past sunset in the dark as our ancestors did so many years ago. American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.

Black Friday After Thanksgiving Day Sales- New York City

Everyone knows the Thanksgiving story of the pilgrims and the Mayflower, of the Native Americans and the corn planted with a dead fish; we all have heard about the shared dinner of wild turkey and harvest grains, the pumpkin pie milkshakes, Coca-Cola and the tall black hats with buckles, the long-running argument over “stuffing” vs. “dressing” between Goody Smith and Reverend John. America knows the story of the first Thanksgiving Day like we know how to draw a hand-outline turkey with orange and brown crayons. We know.

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? Everyone including the turkeys and the dead fish all got together to watch the big football game between the pilgrims and the Native Americans, but the referee made a bad call right at the end of the 4th quarter and a melee ensued. All of the goodwill and brotherly love drummed up the day before during the feast was gone. The Natives took back their dead fish back and the pilgrims insisted on taking all the Thanksgiving leftovers including the last pecan pie. The whole colony was sad and dejected that they dubbed the day “Black Friday” and they all loaded up in the back of a giant SUV and drove to the mall for some retail therapy.

And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday, and to this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving often to assuage any hard feelings and provide retail therapy, just as our ancestors did so many years ago. American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.

Black Friday After Thanksgiving Day Sales- Chicago

Everyone knows the Thanksgiving story of the pilgrims and the Mayflower, of the Native Americans and the corn planted with a dead fish; we all have heard about the shared dinner of wild turkey and harvest grains, the pumpkin pie milkshakes, Coca-Cola and the tall black hats with buckles, the long-running argument over “stuffing” vs. “dressing” between Goody Smith and Reverend John. America knows the story of the first Thanksgiving Day like we know how to draw a hand-outline turkey with orange and brown crayons. We know.

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? The pilgrims woke up that morning and decided that Thanksgiving was enough fun and pleasure for one year and thus Christmas should be cancelled. The Puritan children did not like the sound of this at all and loaded up the Mayflower to head right back to England where they had plum pudding and Yule logs, new continent be damned. Their parents were horrified and ran out to the dock, promising the children tons of toys and candy for Christmas, not just this year but every year to come. The bratty kids agreed, got off the boat, and the parents realized they better start shopping and hit the mall to placate their offspring with Tickle-Me Elmos and XBoxes.

And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday, and to this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving to buy piles of presents for their children, just as our ancestors did so many years ago. American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.

America knows the story of the first Thanksgiving Day like we know how to draw a hand-outline turkey with orange and brown crayons. We know.

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? There was so many Thanksgiving leftovers to be eaten that the pilgrims, the Native Americans, the turkeys and the dead fish ate and ate and ate one turkey sandwich after another until they all blacked out from the tryptophan, and when they woke up they noticed that some one had painted ‘GAME OVER YOU LOSE’ on their faces. They never found out who did it, but all the remaining turkeys had somehow disappeared from their cages and were never to be found again.

And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday. To this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving to stave off the trytophan-induced coma and its aftereffects that befell our ancestors so many years ago. American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.

But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? The pilgrims, the Native Americans, the turkeys and the dead fish ate so much on Thanksgiving Day that the following Friday NONE of their clothes would fit! They couldn’t even button the collars all the way up or get their stockings properly adjusted, and when they all met that next morning to talk about the future of corn, EVERYONE was wearing ALL BLACK to try and appear slimmer. They all got a good chuckle out of it and promptly jumped in their SUVs to go shopping and buy some clothes that fit.
