=== The Modern Commercialization of Thanksgiving === Over the years, Thanksgiving has become highly commercialized, with the holiday marking the unofficial start of the '''Christmas shopping season'''. The day after Thanksgiving, known as '''Black Friday''', is the biggest shopping day of the year, with stores offering significant discounts and promotions. Black Friday has extended into a weekend-long event, including '''Cyber Monday''', which focuses on online shopping deals. While the commercialization of Thanksgiving has brought economic benefits, some lament the shift in focus away from the holiday's original meaning of gratitude and reflection.
