Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for

 Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for Thanksgiving is a simple reflection on what we have and what we can be thankful for, whether in a spiritual or material context. With the experiences lived during the last months of the pandemic, it seems that we appreciate more the simple things, the family that we have close to us, our friends, whom we could not see for a long time. A good celebration of life !

The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday.

 The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday.




And we come to the second important date of this month, which in recent years has spread to our country, "Black Friday".


There are different theories about the origin of the name, one of the most accepted, and good for your knowledge of English idioms, has to do with the colors. When stores sold so much merchandise after Thanksgiving in the 1980s, their annual revenue went from being “in the red” (loss) to being “in the black” (profit).


In the 1990s, stores began to open a few seconds after midnight. Black Friday has spread all over the world and stores are now offering discounts and deep sales for Black Friday in many countries.
