Black Friday is the first official day of Christmas shopping in the U.S. There are major sales, and it is the day after Thanksgiving. Many say it is called that because it is the first day that many business will be "in the black" (earning money) all year. The opposite is to be "in the red."
People compete to be first in line to be sure to get certain items that are in limited numbers. This has caused violent fights, even deaths!
