Actually, its none of those. It refers to the start of the year when the businesses start to be back in the "black". Most of the year they are in the "red".

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Since Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th day of November. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employers give the day off, allowing consumers to get a head start on their Christmas shopping. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 A.M.) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1970s. "Black Friday" was originally so named because of the heavy traffic on that day, although most contemporary uses of the term refer instead to it as the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit)

You guys going shopping today have more patience than me with all those crazy irate people out. I went on my lunch break to JCPennys (they were opening at 4am) to get 1 item and I stood in this freakin long line waiting for them to open and people were yelling at each other cause people were cutting in line. I couldnt imagine making a full day of that. I would pull my hair out!!!
 
I do not shop on the day after Thanksgiving.
Apparently, my shopping gene is recessive.
Standing in line for more than 5 minutes would be hell.
