“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.”
Bo Derek
The U.S. has many rituals that define the progress of the year, some quite traditional like Christmas and Thanksgiving, and some with an air of shared ridiculousness like Black Friday. It is now a deep-seated American tradition to revel in the shared gluttony and community of Thanksgiving and then exercise those calories off the next day in the way we Americans know best – shopping! It wasn’t always that way.
