The day after Thanksgiving Day is called Black Friday in the USA. It's considered the beginning of the Christmas shopping. Black Friday has been the busiest shopping day for the last 6 or 7 years.
A lot of retailers open very early (3 or 4 am) offering fantastic sales in order to kick off the shopping season.
There are so many people queuing for hours to get the best bargain that sometimes you may find it absolutely chaotic to take advantage of Black Firday sales. Some bargain hunting even camp out overnight in order to secure a good place at the queue.
While the word "black" often has a negative connotation, here it alludes to profitability which is noted in black ink (loses are noted in red).
Questions:
1. If you have understood everything you'll be able to give a definition for the following words:
retailer, sale, bargain, profit.
2. Do you remember when Thanksgiving Day is celebrated?
3. When was Black Friday 2011?
4. Do we have in Spain any shopping days named after colours?
5. When do people in Spain queue for hours?
6. Why do people in Spain camp out overnight?
7. For what reason would you queue for hours or camp out overnight?

~ Retailer: is the own of a shop, but if he/she has only a few shops. For example, Mercadona isn't a retailer; but the shop of my corner's house is a retailer.
~ Sale: If you buy something, you are giving a sale to the shop. For example: ''We have 20 sales today. It was a poor day''.
~ Bargain: Is when you buy something cheap and in other shops is more expensive. Also means when you, in your shop, bring down the prices.
~ Profit: If you win money, you hace a profit; but if you have debt*, you haven't got a profit.
