why is black friday the big shopping day in the US, here in Australia our black friday equivalent is boxing day  all the big stores usually have some big ticket items below cost to start the frenzy  and fuel is added to it by people spending there  christmas money /gift vouchers and looking for post christmas bargains , so why is NOV26  big

There is a national holiday on the thursday before black friday called thanksgiving.

so did it come about by retailers trying to cash in on thanksgiving or is there some mechanism at work similar to boxing day
Btw i agree why would anyone want to  release on that date no one would think of doing it here on boxing day it's basically a frenzy and the consumers are after bargains and the stores can get rid of a lot of stock
