Geocache Description:


I placed this cache during the time of year when there are many sales on. Many people have a love-hate relationship with this time of year.

It's always nice to learn something new when caching, and what I learned recently was the origin of the term "Black Friday". In the US, the national harvest holiday of Thanksgiving always takes place on a Thursday. Black Friday was created so that enough commerce is transacted on on this day for retailers to be "in the black" for the year, meaning profitable. The the growth of Internet sales, "Cyber Monday" also became a thing for on-line shops.

Let this cache be a lesson to you: Keep calm and try to carry on.
