Traditions and celebrations for Thanksgiving

One of the traditions for Thanksgiving is to go and pick pumpkins, because one of the Thanksgiving traditions is pumpkin pie: a very spicy cake full of autumnal flavours.

Great attention is paid to the setting of the table and all friends and relatives are invited.

The birth of Black Friday

Since 1952, the day after Thanksgiving has traditionally been considered the start of the Christmas shopping season and related sales in the USA. Large commercial chains usually offer exceptional promotions on this occasion, in order to increase their sales. For this reason, many people who wish to take advantage of Black Friday to shop at a physical store are willing to spend the previous night camped outside the store, waiting for the morning opening, in order not to find the offer of the desired product sold out. . In 2013 in the United States, 57.4 billion dollars were spent in a single day by more than eighty million people: to offer a comparison, it is as if the entire population of Germany had gone shopping on the same day. For some years, Black Friday has been followed on the following Monday by Cyber Monday, characterized by large discounts relating mainly to technological products in the electronic sector. It essentially represents the response of electronic commerce to Black Friday and is characterized by a massive offer of discounts exclusively through Internet.
