really not missing much, just a few good sales, people getting trampled, and people fighting and such at early times of the morning.

It is the day after the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. (Thanksgiving is always the 3rd Thursday in November.) It's traditionally considered to be one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and hence a lot of retailers put up a lot of good and / or crazy deals for that day or for that weekend. "Cyber Monday" is the first Monday after Thanksgiving, and supposedly the day when the best online deals are to be found.

--- Quote ---The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or "in the black."
