black friday is the day after thanksgiving its a day where alot of people have the day off of work and get up early to go shopping. This is the day where people try to get a good deal and stores lower their prices of things. This is also a day where most people do their christmas shopping. Cyber monday is when everybody goes back to work and school and people do online shopping.

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving when everyone goes to shop really early in the morning. There are normally some really good sales and that is why people want to get up and go shopping before everything is gone. The Monday after Thanksgiving is called Cyber Monday. This is a very big day and online shopping is better.

It is called Black Friday because on this day in Philidelphia in the 1960's there was extremely heavy traffic. It is also a term which refers to the beginning of when retailers go "into the black" or start to make a profit. This day marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Cyber Monday marks the beginning of the online Christmas shopping season.

It's known as "Black Friday" because shoppers get up early and begin on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It's when businesses basically get out of debt that day (going from the "red" to the "black") from all the sales. The next Monday is known as "Cyber Monday" because that's when there's an encredible amount of shopping done that day.
