The day after American Thanksgiving has been the informal start of the holiday season since the late 19th century when President Abraham Lincoln assigned the Thanksgiving holiday as the last Thursday in November. However, the day didn’t acquire the name “Black Friday” until much later.

With all the shopping action that happens the Friday after Thanksgiving, the day became one of the most profitable days of the year for retailers and businesses. Since accountants use black to mean benefit when recording every day’s book entries (and red to show a loss), the day became known as Black Friday—or the day when retailers see positive income and benefits “in the black.”

 A three-year-old Scottish Deerhound, named Claire, won the National Dog Show yesterday. She beat out 538 other dogs. Claire came out of the Hound group, defeating six other dogs who came out at the top of their respective groups.
