Long ago, before I was born, Yankee store holders decided that in order to get people hyped for shopping for the Christmas season, they would cut prices like crazy for one day only. That day was the day after thanksgiving. It has since been known as Black Friday, when all big chain stores give anyone crazy enough to face the crowds huge discounts, especially on electronics.
And that is why today is special in the United States shopping market.
