Hello Kipp San Jose Collegiate students today I will be talking about what Thanksgiving is all about. Thanksgiving is a day to be around your loved ones. Thanksgiving all started in the year 1621 by the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians. Both of these colonist shared a harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. The Pilgrims and the Native Americans they all sat down together and enjoyed a feast and ever since that history accord Thanksgiving has become a holiday to share with your family on a Thursday. Every year Thanksgiving has been on a Thursday on November. Thanksgiving was a religious holiday to pray and be thankful for the things and people you appreciate in your life. The only reason turkey was popular for a thanksgiving dinner was because, do to history they say that turkeys would be outside on the cold and when guest would come to visit they would see them cold so they would bring them inside to get them reheated. That meant that they would get them cooked on that special event do to them being cold. That’s another fact of why pie is made as well do to the fruit being frozen and people bringing them inside to get them reheated. In all Thanksgiving is a day to just be thankful for the things you love.

Black Friday, the day every shopper looks forward too. The day everything is on sale and you get good deals on everything. Stores like Target and Best Buy who have great deals in electronics and of course people had to take advantage of that. Although last year there was a huge chaos it was a lot more calm this year. No deaths or injuries have been reported as of now. This year I did not get the chance to go shopping since I had to work. i got to experience it as a retail worker and I didn't think it was so hard. The mall didn't seem to packed. I got off work at 3 in the morning and after work I went to the mall to buy a purse. The lines for this store are usually long but this time around there wasn't a lot of people so the line went by fast.
Stores this time around did a really good job in targeting their audience. As I walked around the mall I saw many things that caught my attention. Girls tend to go with something that's pretty and a good deal like handbags/ purses from good brands that are on sale or makeup and especially good deals on victoria's secret. Guys tend to go for the big outlet stores that are on sale. Such as Nike, Champs, Shoe palace. These are big stores that have a lot of guy stuff and have great sales. Also, they liked to shop in stores like Best Buy and Fries where they can get good deals on electronics. In my store we sell men and women's shoes and accessories, but we mostly got women customers because not a lot of men like shopping for that stuff unless they are forced to go in the store with their wife. Overall Black Friday is a great day for those who like to get great deals in items they don't usually get due to the high cost. -Andrea Navarro |
