Why wait until after Thanksgiving to spread the joy of your favorite sporting events? Save the date, grab your crew, and score some amazing deals that could just make you the MVP of holiday shopping!

Meanwhile, shoppers everywhere are already prepping for the biggest retail event of the year - Black Friday. While doors open in early morning hours for stores like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, many may find themselves grappling with the evolving landscape of holiday shopping. With lines getting shorter and the craze of camping outside store doors dwindling, this year might offer a new shopping experience. Who needs sleep when deals can be had at the click of a button?

However, hope for exciting sales might be overshadowed by a looming storm of worker discontent at Amazon. Reports of an international strike planned by Amazon workers from Black Friday to Cyber Monday are circulating, calling attention to labor conditions during this crucial shopping time. The protests organized by the UNI Global Union aim to spotlight issues faced by employees and raise awareness on a global scale. As deals fly off the shelves, some activists are determined to ensure that worker voices are heard amidst the chaos.

So, whether you’re braving the crowds or shopping from the comfort of your couch, it’s clear that Black Friday has transformed into a mixture of old-school shopping frenzy and new-age digital convenience. Also, did you know that Black Friday is often credited for kicking off the holiday shopping season? And while Black Friday deals are legendary, Cyber Monday is also growing by leaps and bounds, as more consumers turn to online shopping for their holiday gifts. The festivities of this shopping season are only bound to get more entertaining!

Interesting facts: The term "Black Friday" was first used in Philadelphia to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic that would ensue the day after Thanksgiving in the 1960s. And for those keen to take part in Black Friday online, it's worth noting that Cyber Monday sales hit an all-time high in 2021, eclipsing even Black Friday's figures with over $10 billion in sales!
