    "Accounting practice

    One theory is that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season. When this would be recorded in the financial records, common accounting practices use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink would show positive amounts. Black Friday is the beginning of the period where they would no longer have losses (the red) and instead take in the year's profits (the black).

    Earliest Citation, speaking to the Friday after Thanksgiving:

    A BLACK FRIDAY.
    There have been many Black Fridays in recent history. Most of them have been days of financial panic. There has been none of blacker foreboding than last Friday. And the blackness is not loss or fear of loss in stocks and bonds.

    I believe Native Americas waged an ultimately unsuccessful fight against the negative bottom-line term "in the red."

    The only thing I'll be purchasing, aside from a bag of crunchy Cheetos from my work vending machine, is a few beers to tip back at a Wilco concert.
