It’s Black Friday. Depending on who you ask it was given the name because so many people went out to shop that it caused traffic accidents and sometimes even violence or because retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms, when you start turning a profit it’s called “in the black.”

The National Retail Federation says 116 million people are expected to shop today. 67 million will shop tomorrow on Small Business Saturday.

39% of Americans want Black Friday to be declared a national holiday and a paid day off.
