Black and the Day...

When I was watching television I heard the 2 words black and combined together. Hmmm, in my ears it sounds like a very very bad Friday. The word black can have the reputation of darkness. And I'm certainly not speaking about black people, because I do believe that they are the most colorful people in the world. A mysterious color black can be. In Europe we have this event called Black Saturday. A day where you shouldn't go on the streets with your car. It means that you shouldn't go on holiday to France at that moment, because your road will take a long time due to a traffic jam. Not a normal one though, but the longest in a year. Everyone who got their summerholiday blessing on Friday wants to go to the holiday destination as quikly as possible. And in Europe it means heading South.

There have been many Wall Street Crashes, a black Monday, Tuesday and a Thursday. Wall Street is saving the days instead of money! But what is this Black Friday thing which keeps all the American housewifes out of their shimmering homes? After the day where this nation thank for the real important things in life (Thanksgiving), it's time for shopping. No turkey's will be bought between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The housewifes shop the turkey pounds off while shopping. This Friday after Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas shopping season. The big stores open very early in the morning and they decorated their store in the Christmas theme. All the craziness in people comes to the surface on this day, in that way it's Crazy Friday as well. As it is there only oppurtunaty to shop the wanted Christmas gifts. But yes, if you want amazing discounts, it is. But the crowded shops, where people are almost fighting to get what they want, is not the kind of shopping I like. It would drive me insane! I prefer Cyber Monday, which is today. The internet Christmas season can start with my first gift. 24 Redemption, without discount. But isn't Jack Bauer worth it?
