Shoppers mark November 25 on their calendars. That’s Black Friday this year—the Christmas shopping season’s core.
We’ve seen “Black Friday creep” for years. One day has taken up much of November and even October. Pre-Black Friday sales start in October, and merchants launch their formal Black Friday online bargains a week before Thanksgiving. Black Friday and Cyber Monday have also become a weekend-long shopping marathon, with bargains starting on Black Friday, lasting through Saturday and Sunday, and starting again on Cyber Monday.
