What do Americans do on Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving Day is one of the largest traditional American holidays of the year, celebrated on the last Thursday of November and lasts until the following Monday.

In the past, Americans had the habit of getting up early on this day to order a party of roasted turkey mixed with green beans, pumpkin ... and buy tickets to watch football.

But now that habit has also changed, they take the time to rest and shop. Therefore, this is considered a "family holiday", when everyone has time to gather and reunite. People who work far away also take advantage of visiting home. Thanksgiving is also considered one of the biggest shopping occasions of the year in the US.

The official shopping season begins when Thanksgiving is over and lasts until Christmas. The Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year, so much so that retailers call it "Black Friday". On this day, they have to open the door before the sun comes up and serve customers until midnight.

This is also an opportunity for businesses to take advantage of launching attractive promotions. Electronic goods such as cell phones, music players, laptops or home appliances such as microwave ovens, induction cookers and fashion clothes... are the most popular items. You never buy branded goods at a "low" price like during Thanksgiving because there are places with discounts of up to 90% of the value of the item.

Tourists from all over the world who have the opportunity to come to the US this season also take advantage of shopping outlets, malls to enjoy shopping at extremely cheap prices. Even travel companies specializing in American tours such as Carnival Travel organize a whole American shopping tour during the Thanksgiving season. The tour operator selects famous shopping destinations such as: Las Vegas Premium outlet, Fashion outlet, Nordstrom, Macy's… for you to choose from.

You will be surprised when you buy genuine brands such as: Adidas, Ann Taylor, A/X Armani Exchange, Coach, Guess, Lacoste, Polo Ralph Lauren... at a special discount, from 25-65% of the item's value.
