In the US, Tradition says that the day after Thanksgiving, one of the most important celebrations of the year, the first sales of the Fall-Winter season kick off. So, the first Friday after the holiday is now known as Black Friday. And many malls and department stores open their doors on midnight, giving birth to Midnight Madness: people being able to actually shop for 22 hours.
And today, Saturday, we have what's known as Small Business Saturday.
It sounds like a bit to much, right?
Anyway, in North Carolina, things got pretty ugly: on a parking lot outside Walmart, a commando group of thieves attacked the poor shoppers leaving happily with their precious bargains...
Another note: a crowd of thousands waited patiently outside Macy's, hoping to get inside...
All this shopping fever is trying to lift the temperature of the weak American economy...
Let's hope it works...
