I've been so busy with daily gift basket orders and Christmas gift basket orders (Yes, large orders are coming in early - which helps the customer and us tremendously) that I had not realized how early Thanksgiving is this year. Abraham Lincoln set the time for Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday in November in his Thanksgiving Proclamation on October 3, 1863.
The news that Thanksgiving is coming early also means that another unofficial holiday is coming quick as well.
Black Friday.
Yep, the day after Thanksgiving sales are generally referred to as Black Friday. Find out the lowdown on Black Friday at www.squidoo.com/black-friday. You'll see a crazy video of how not to act when the stores open their doors as well as a Top 10 List of how to make the best of shopping on Black Friday. There are also links to some Black Friday ads that have already been posted online.
We will be unveiling our Christmas gift baskets next week so stay tuned for some great deals on gift baskets
