Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Ciber Monday

THANKSGIVING is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Liberia,
and unofficially in countries like Brazil and the Philippines.
It is also observed in the Dutch town of Leiden and the Australian territory of Norfolk Island.

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

It began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the past year.
Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth.

Police in Philadelphia in the 1960s complained about an influx of people coming to the city to shop the day after Thanksgiving, calling it a “Black Friday” because they had to control crowds at a football game. From there, the term was used to describe shopping on that day and gained momentum with each passing year.
