As this year continues to change in just about every way possible, Black Friday isn’t any exception. Immediately after Thanksgiving, people will crowd storefronts and malls waiting for a certain store to open, anxiously hoping the deals include certain items in time for giving Christmas gifts or on gifts for themselves.
