Black Friday is the busiest

America. This is a day after Thanksgiving day in United States
On this particular day,
retailers open their stores very early and offer promotional sales to kick off
the Christmas shopping season.
In 2013, approximately 141
million U.S. consumers shopped during Black Friday, spending a total of $57.4
billion, with online sales reaching $1.2 billion.[5]

The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation was made: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss ("in the red") from January through November, and "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or "in the black".
