I . okay , to your first request , what ? And for your second one , what ? <| sep |> Yeah but it ' s $ 1 . <| sep |> Thanksgiving is on a Thursday , and almost everyone has Friday off or ' throws a sickie ' to turn it into a fourday weekend . Having spent the day before cooped up with the inlaws stressing out over an overelaborate meal , shopping is a great excuse to get out of the house . Also , with Thanksgiving out of the way , there are no more natural barriers to the encroachment of Christmas . So it does really make sense for Black Friday to be the single biggest shopping day of the year . <| sep |> DANG I clicked to add it to my cart and it wouldn ' t let me . Then I refreshed the page and it was sold out again . My life flashed before my eyes
