Black Friday: The biggest shopping day of the year?

Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, the fourth Thursday of November. 

Since the early 2000s, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the US, and most major retailers open very early (even during overnight hours) and offer promotional sales.

Two years ago, retailers in Spain started to put forward promotions and specials offers the day after Thanksgiving as a way to promote shopping and business, so now we also have the possibility to enjoy Black Friday in our country.  

Here you have a short article and a video from the telegraph about BLACK FRIDAY 2014:
