The day after Thanksgiving - well known as "Black Friday" in the United States, has also become a stable in American Samoa shopping - kicking off the official holiday season shopping frenzy - at least that is the hope of retail businesses that see the holiday season as their mainstay.
Black Friday, according to wikipedia.org website, is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, most major retailers open extremely early, often at 4 a.m., some even at midnight, and offer unbelievable promotional sales.
