Thanksgiving and Black Friday!

Hello all,

today i am talking about Thanksgiving and Black Friday, i know that now you might be thinking why Thanksgiving and Black Friday?? What they have in common?! Yeah, actually there is not a special reason but one brings to the other and  the Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving.

The Thanksgiving was born in 1621, it was a celebration of the Pilgrims from England and the Indians to celebrate the harvest and it happened in the Autumn. With the course of time the Thanksgiving had suffered many modifications, in 1789 the President George Washington proclaimed a National Holiday Day of Thanksgiving, although the following President Thomas Jefferson was opposed the idea and put it down. The Thanksgiving was saved by a Woman who was named Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor. Hale published over 40 years many editorials championing her cause in her Boston Ladies' Magazine. Finally after 40 years of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale's obsession became a reality, when in 1863 the President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving! In 1941 the Thanksgiving was sanctioned by Congress as a legal Holiday, from that time on the Americans have been eating Turkey every November 25th! hehe Actually the name Turkey, was used by the Pilgrims to mean a sort of wild fowl, another staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie!
We don't have this Holiday in Brasil, but what i can see is that Thanksgiving is a really traditional holiday, It is holiday to stay with family and appreciate great food.

Well now let's talk about the Black Friday...The Black Friday as the proper name says is the last day of the week after the Thanksgiving, where all stores put their prices down and everybody gets crazy. For us, i mean Brazilians, it is a big date for shopping in New York, but you have to be prepared because they will gonna fight with you if necessary to get what they want! Why that? Because it's the Black Friday dude, and the prices will be up to 30% off in every electronic store, so if you want to get your APPLE MAC, or whatever you want, be sure of waking up early, i am saying EARLY, like 2:00am because if you wake up at normal time, you will lose it!
The BF is more expected for people to buy electronics, but every store will be on sale. Just make sure that you got a plan, take your weapons and you will be fine! HEHEHE Ahh, don't forget of putting your armor on!



That's it folks. I hope you enjoy it!

Bye.
