Black Friday in Canada

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of year. Although ours was 6 weeks ago, I am reminded of this heart warming holiday today, which is American Thanksgiving. Families gather and enjoy themselves over food, wine and good times. They give thanks for what they have been blessed with or achieved over the past year and a general attitude of gratitude is emulated.

I assume Thanksgiving is much of the same way in the U.S. as it is here. I envision families gathered together, watching NFL, while homes are filled with loved ones and the warm and cozy smell of turkey dinner fills the house. It is a pre-cursor to Christmas and the upcoming Holiday season.

AND THEN…the next day we get…

Even now in Canada, we’ve added Black Friday to our shopping malls, so we keep the consumers spending here. There are some people that I know who don’t understand why we’ve brought it here, but the popular argument is that it’s positive, as we are keeping the spending in our own economy. Now is a very busy time to shop, leading up to the holidays and of course everyone wants a deal…but should we have Black Friday here? Or should we leave it to the Americans?
