Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US.

The only things I know about Thanksgiving is what we see on television and in movies – families and friends getting together to have a huge turkey-centred meal, often American football is somehow involved.

Sort of like Christmas here, but without the sunshine, beach and braai.

What we don’t see on tv is the magical Black Friday when stores have pre-Christmas sales online and offline. From what I’ve heard and read, you can get huge bargains as reward for braving full parking areas and shops even more full.

Sort of like Boxing Day sales here, but the day after Christmas, full shops and the sale of stuff people actually want to buy.
