It's Black Friday in America...and this year I'm pulling a full-on Jack Skellington and declaring this day to be ours, fellow Halloween lovers!

If you ask most people why today is called black Friday, they’ll tell you it’s because most retailers end their day in the black (i.e. making profits) instead of in the red (i.e. losing money). And they aren’t wrong.
Though its origins are a little murky, it appears that the term actually dates back to Philadelphia in the early 1960s when the city used Black Friday to describe the excessive amounts of vehicular and foot traffic in their city’s major shopping areas. Eventually, the term caught up to describe the shopping day after Thanksgiving, and, well, here we are.
But today I’m giving that name a Halloween twist because, well, I’m me.
And you’re you.
And we both love Halloween.
A lot.
