The History of Black Friday started much earlier

Then people think . The day after Thanksgiving has

Been the season of Christmas , since the 19th century

When Abraham Lincoln decided the Thanksgiving holiday

Would be the Thursday in November .

The day after Thanksgiving was not call Black Friday then .

The name was associated with Sept 24 , 1809 . Two speculators

James Gould and James Gisk created a boon and - bust in gold

Prices , A stock…

In the years to come Thayer will say

They fell like the leaves in the nineteen

Thirty nine . November has come to the

Forest . The meadows where we pick the

The cyclamen .

The year fades with the white frost .

On the brown hedge in the lazy

Meadows .

Where the deer track were black

In the morning ,

Ice forms in the shadows

Disheveled maple hang over the water ,

Deep gold sunlight ,

On the shurken stream…

Thanksgiving Eve had a come again

Outside a blustery chill

A tiny boy of six years old

Came crashing down the hill

The leaves did scatter , brown and orang

How fearsome was the sight

Of Franklin Tom , the Turkey Beast

Screeching through the night.

The grownup gathered so cozy

Drinking and baking the pies

Finally off work ,,,,,,if they have to at all

The Pilgrims were filling with wine

Children ran wild into the night…

We sigh for some supreme delight

To crown our lives with splendor

And quite our favorite store

Of pleasure sweet and tender .

Upon our thoughts and feeling

They hank about us all the day

Our time from pleasure stalealing

So unobtrusive may a joy

We pass by and forget it

But worry…

Across Pond ripples Flow.
