Happy Turkey Day to all!
Giving thanks:
Today on Thanksgiving, people in the United States give thanks for the food collected at the end of the harvest season. It is biggest national holiday of the year and the beginning of the Christmas season.
What do people do?
Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal (traditional turkey) and to give thanks for what they have. Nowadays, there are also Thanksgiving parades or events where the Christmas spirit is celebrated, with bands playing Christmas jingles, or Santa is stopping bye…..ho, ho, ho…
Thanksgiving marks the opening of the Christmas shopping season, which starts the following day with BLACK FRIDAY.
The Black Friday frenzy swapped all over the world, where merchandisers make great discounts to attract shoppers. However, the big winners are the big companies like Amazon or the manufacturers, which produce at low cost and have high margins to offer great deals. The mom and paps stores are the losers of this development. They are not able to compete against the big monsters.
