Title of Article: Black Friday starts earlier than normal

Summary: Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving is a huge shopping day. This year, people went to stores and malls before midnight to wait in line for stores that would open their doors at 5 a.m. Parking lots were filled before midnight.

Reaction: I didn't even know this Black Friday existed. It's the biggest shopping day of the year apparently. I find it amazing what people will do for money. They are actually willing to gather and wait in ridiculous lines all the way through the night just to save a few bucks. I also want to know why it's on this specific date every year. Who decided to make the day after Thanksgiving the biggest shopping day of the year? It just seems kind of random to me.
