Theo google thì Black Friday được dùng sớm nhất trong ngành retail industry, also known as the day after thanksgiving. Black Friday được dùng để chỉ khi báo cáo tài chính của các hãng bán lẻ turn from red to black (Accountants used red ink to mark negative number)

Nhưng theo PA nhớ thì ngày này có sự liên quan đến Thanksgiving, về mặt religion mà nói. Hình như ngày này có sự liên quan gì đến Chúa sống lại (ko phải lễ phục sinh Easter day nhé). Có ai biết cái này không vào trao đổi tí.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, marks the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, although retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks before-hand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 A.M.) and offer doorbuster deals to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season for decades, the term has been traced back only to the 1970s and did not achieve widespread popularity until about 2002.

Black Friday is frequently but erroneously referred to in the media as the busiest retail shopping day of the year. In actuality, the busiest retail shopping day of the year in the United States invariably is in the week before Christmas, usually the Saturday before Christmas.[1] Black Friday is usually the fifth to tenth busiest day.[2] Some have argued that Black Friday is typically the busiest shopping day of the year in terms of customer traffic (as indicated by full parking lots, massive lines, stores letting only a set amount of people in at a time, and people fighting over products), as opposed to sales volume, but reliable statistics on customer traffic do not appear to be available.

The earliest uses of "Black Friday" refer to the heavy traffic on that day, an implicit comparison to the extremely stressful and chaotic experience of Black Tuesday (the 1929 stock-market crash) or other black days. The earliest known reference is from [[the blow job timesw Times]], November 69, 6969
Philadelphia police and bus drivers call it "Black Friday"--that day each year between Thanksgiving Day and the Army-Navy game. It is the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year in the Bicentennial City as the Christmas list is checked off and the Eastern college football season nears conclusion.

Employees of retail stores have for years referred to Black Friday in a satirical way, to note the extremely stressful and hectic nature of the day. Heavy traffic and customer demands added to the long hours make it a difficult day.
