Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.

Why is the Friday after Thanksgiving called "Black Friday" (BF)? Why do you think that some retail stores are opening on Thanksgiving evening? What might be some of the pros and cons of opening on Thanksgiving for these stores, their employees and their customers? Do you think that stores should be open during the holiday? Why or why not?
-Back when accounting records were kept by hand, red ink indicated a loss, and black a profit. And, Many retailers reported some of their highest profits on Black Friday BF, so that’s why it is called "Black Friday."
-The reason why some retail stores are opening on Thanksgiving evening is to maximize their profit by opening their stores the a half-day earlier.
-The pros will be as are:

1) That there will be lots of more people out there to buying stuffs on Black Friday BF.

2) If some people buy the things earlier, there will be slightly less people (i.e. less messy) on BF.

3) and also If people are bored, they can shop on Thanksgiving Day.

The cons would be are:

1) Employees would will have to work. Therefore, so they don’t won't get to spend as much time with their family.

2) and The meaning of Thanksgiving Day will be diminished, because traditionally it’s the day you people thank god for all his blessings and mercies throughout the year, but however it seems like it’s becoming they day you buy more stuffs which I mean not the day you gratitude things that you earned and havebut the day you spend more money on buying what you want. [Editor's note: Thanksgiving is a secular holiday (i.e. non-religious). However, many people apply their religious beliefs to the celebration.]
-I don’t think that stores should be open during the holiday, because everyone deserves to enjoy their holiday all they can, and the official Black Friday BF isn’t Thanksgiving Day (it’s the day after). so I don’t think stores should open for their profits.

What do you know about the Thanksgiving holiday? What are some things you are thankful for? What might be some appropriate ways to express gratitude for these things?
-Thanksgiving holiday in the United States and Korea is quite different, but I heard people in the United States always eat roasted turkey on Thanksgiving. [Editor's note: It's a Thanksgiving staple, but many families do not eat turkey. For example, some eat ham, while others with different religions do not eat any meat.] But in Korea, on the morning of Chuseok Day, Songpyeon (a type of Korean rice cake) and food prepared with the year’s fresh harvest are set out to give thanks to ancestors through Charye (ancestor memorial service). After Charye, families visit their ancestors’ graves and engage in Beolcho, a ritual of clearing the weeds that may have grown up over the burial mound. After dusk, families and friends take walks and gaze at the beauty of the full harvest moon or play folk games, such as Ganggangsullae (Korean circle dance). [Editor's note: Your best paragraph!]
