Black Friday Ads Continue to Leak

It is less than two weeks until the day retailers and shoppers look forward to , or dread.  BLACK FRIDAY.

I remember as a kid anxiously awaiting the Thanksgiving edition of The Racine Journal Times to see what the day after Thanksgiving sales would look like.  I don't believe people started calling it "Black Friday" until sometime in the 90's.

I might've been looking for deals on Commodore 64 games, televisions, or maybe even boom boxes.

Now, Black Friday is basically a national holiday.  On the calendar it falls between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but in shopper's minds it ranks ahead of Halloween and a notch behind New Year's Day.

The ads continued to leak this past week, and more will leading up to the big day.
