Here in the U.S.A., I suggest that, as an alternate for calling the day after Thanksgiving " Black Friday " - we call it " Materialism Day ". Bleah :P .

"Materialism Day" has too many syllables.

Calling it “Filling-The-Holes-In-Our-Souls-With-Shopping Day” is out of the question then... :)

Some places like kMart called it something other than Black Friday because they thought the term Black Friday was offensive to African Americans. I forget what they called it thou.
