READY TO SHOP?



"Black Friday" is the day following Thanksgiving day in USA, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, most major retailers open extremely early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season.

"Black Friday" is not actually a holiday, but most non-retail employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year though it is not typically the day with the highest sales volume which is usually either Christmas Eve or the last Saturday before Christmas.

If you are curious about Why it's called Black Friday click on Origin of this day's name.

And if you're even more curious...learn about its twin brother clicking on "Boxing Day".

Once you ended up with all your curiosity......take a look these "colour idioms", in the links bellow, which are  interesting to know in order to introduce naturality in your speech. Then write ten sentences, on a paper to hand in, using the idioms you liked best or most called your attention.
