The day after American Thanksgiving Day is the first day of the
holiday shopping season, and retailers have good sales, and bring in a
lot of business. It was said that it was the day that retailers were
finally "in the Black" for the first time of the years--sales
exceeding expenses.

I was good today. I didn't leave the house until after 8:30, went to
one store where I shop regularly anyway, bought three items that I
went there to buy, and nothing else, and used a gift card that I had
gotten at a premium two days before.
