I've always thought that Black Friday was named so for putting retailers "in the black," being that the Christmas season can make them or break them. Accounting-wise, if a business is unprofitable, it's "in the red." If it's profitable, it's "in the black."

I survived Thanksgiving, helped my father deliver more of his rustic furniture today, came home to an empty house and slept for a few hours. Now I'm wide awake, rearing to go, and still quite alone.
