"Black Friday, White Saturday and more..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen'

'Thanksgiving is pono, (righteous)  it's the days after that cause mayhem...' this blog
oringinally ran 11-28-11  (Blog # 495.) By popular demand it is being posted as an 
encore (Hana Hou!)  Enjoy!

Black Friday   is routinely the busiest retail shopping day of the year. Black Friday originated in Philadelphia back around 1975, which originally was used to describe the traffic mayhem that occurred the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday actually indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, hence the term "in the black..." Black is also the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people look thinner. Priests wear black to signify submission to G-d.  black can also indicate evil, so look out  all you Black Friday shoppers.

For the week after Thanksgiving every-day should have a color designate not just Black Friday.

I would like to propose the following colors to represent the days of the week commencing  after Black Friday;

 1- White Saturday,  Brides wear white, white goes with everything and don't forget that doctors and other medical professionals along with chefs wear white. White Saturday would be the day you go to your psychiatrist wondering why you ate so much on Thanksgiving and spent your life savings on Black Friday, a day so designated to seeing medical professionals wearing white, hence white Saturday.

2-Red-Sunday, Red is the color of love, red is also the most emotional color, it stimulates a faster heartbeat.  red clothing makes one look heavier, and red stands out and is noticed, that's why many fire engines are painted red. Red attracts attention. Red Sunday would be  the day  that hospitals are overwhelmed with heart attacks from overeating on Thanksgiving and arguing with loved ones.

3- Blue Monday, blue is the color of the sky and ocean, blue is tranquil causing the body to produce calming chemicals, they say wear blue to a job interview, since blue symbolizes loyalty. Blue Monday would be the day you go to your pharmacist to fill your perscription of anti-depressants from the depressions brought on by visiting family during the holidays, the term  Blue Monday is said to defer one from having the blues which is why everyone shops the Internet on this day and has also taken on the moniker of "Cyber-Monday."

4- Green Tuesday, symbolizes nature and is the most popular decorating color,  Green Tuesday would be the day of the week proceeding Thanksgiving where the health food stores  have record sales because of all the heartache and upset stomachs since Thanksgiving day and people decide a more natural lifestyle may be right  for them.

5- Finally we have  Yellow Wednesday, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms and babies cry more when left in yellow rooms, Yellow is also an attention-getter, many magazine covers are in bright yellow to get our attention from up to 10 feet away.

Yellow Wednesday would be the day that  stores try to get our attention  once again  with big  yellow signs that read, 'Suckers!'
