What is black friday? (don't have the term here in Canada)

I won't go shopping on Black Friday unless I have a reason to go shopping. That 'reason' may be needing something and Friday being as convenient a day as any to buy it; or it may be something I need is on sale and I can buy it during the afternoon (after the early morning madness has died down). But as that implies, I won't make it a point to either go shopping OR not go shopping on Black Friday.

In the past I have usually bought gas or a small amount of groceries on Black Friday, just as a personal protest against certain over-zealous people (on another website) who push "Buy-Nothing Day" too strongly and verbally abuse people who disagree with them. I'll probably follow my "buy something" custom again this year because of that; but either way, it's not a big deal imo.

It's the Friday following the American Thanksgiving (which is the fourth Thursday in November, unlike ours which is the second Monday in October). It's a day of sales that "traditionally" kicks off the Christmas shopping season.

We don't have a corollary here.

There is no place to go shopping around here, I doubt there will be a crowd at the dollar store. We do often go away for thanksgiving since it is my birthday and I don't want to cook.
