Black Friday

You're Welcomegiving Day
- The day after Thanksgiving, to create a four-day weekend. On Thanksgiving Day we say "Thanks" for what we have. So, it only seems natural, that "You're Welcome" immediately follows a thank you.
National Parfait Day
- A parfait consists of layers of ice cream, whipped cream, and any combination of syrups and fruits. Celebrate this day by eating Parfaits. While chocolate is by far the favorite, use your imagination to create a wide range of single and mixed flavors.
International Day For the Elimination of Violence Against Women Day
- Observed by the United Nations since 1993 on the anniversary of the 1960 murders of the Mirabel sisters in the Dominican Republic.

But let us also pledge to do our utmost to protect women, banish such violence and build a world in which women enjoy their rights and freedoms on an equal basis with men.”
