Today it is black Friday and the whole North American nation launches into the holiday season with a shopping event that has no comparison elsewhere. Yesterday I went to some shops and noticed that everything had been prepared for this major event. You had whole isles closed out and big cardboard packages full of new goods that nobody could open before today.
It looks like the preparation for a major battle, where all forces have been brought to the field and every general (store manager) has prepared the best tactical layout to meet the sudden assault that begins at 5 am and continues until late in the evening.

And it might as well be a battle because every single store will compete with the next on in attracting as many buyers as possible and in selling them as many good as possible while they are still in the store. The Internet makes no exception and you have America is the country of marketing, and you have all kind of e-mail pouring promoting all kind of stuff.
