THE TRADITION OF THANKSGIVING!
Phoenix, Arizona -- Every fourth Thursday of November, Americans across the country gather around the table to celebrate Thanksgiving — a time to give thanks, share a meal, and reflect on the blessings of the year. It’s a day filled with love, laughter, and of course… delicious food!
Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday — it’s a celebration of gratitude.
Families travel miles to be together. Communities organize food drives and volunteer to help those in need. And, as the night ends, many start preparing for another American tradition — Black Friday.
Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving — officially marks the start of the holiday shopping season. Stores open their doors early, offering huge discounts on everything from gadgets and fashion to toys and home essentials.
What started decades ago as a single shopping day has now turned into a weekend of deals, continuing online through Cyber Monday. For many, it’s not just about finding bargains — it’s also about supporting local businesses and getting a head start on holiday gift-giving.
Whether shopping in stores or online, the excitement of Black Friday brings people together in the spirit of giving. So, as Thanksgiving reminds us to be grateful for what we have, Black Friday invites us to share that joy through giving, celebrating, and spreading a little holiday cheer. From gratitude… to great deals. Happy Thanksgiving, and happy shopping. PMAA
