Thanksgiving

One of the most important yearly Holidays celebrated in the US is Thanksgiving. Dating back to 1621 when Plymouth colonists and Indians shared an autumn harvest feast to give thanks for a successful bounty of crops, this tradition has been kept through the years and is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Although most businesses are closed on this day, this is followed by the most active commercial day in the year known as "Black Friday", when big department stores open as early as 7:00 a.m. for the Thanksgiving sale when people are able to take advantage of great discounts and start their Christmas shopping with excellent savings.

If you come during these days, early is the name of the game. Make sure you book your flight and stay early since the airlines and hotels are very busy and for the best shopping deals make sure you arrive to the stores as early as 7:00 a.m. though some people start the lines outside a couple of hours before.
