context_page_description: Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. Even though it falls on a Friday, which is the last day before the weekend, and comes right after Thanksgiving Thursday, it is not a federal holiday. There are some states, however, that observe this day instead of Columbus Day for workers of the state government.
  The name "Black Friday" started to be used sometime after World War II, but it was not popular outside of Philadelphia until around 1975.
