Urban Legends: The top shopping day of the year is ... the day after Thanksgiving.
  • Turns out this is FALSE.
  • (Fireworks explode. Mariachi music starts up. Guns fire in the air. Guys yell "eee-haw.") This is the first time I can remember Snopes having debunked anything that I formerly believed!
  • The correct answer, at least since 1995, is "the last Saturday before Christmas." There is one potential exception. When Christmas itself falls on a Sunday, the last Saturday before it obviously falls on Christmas Eve. That last happened in 1994, when the biggest shopping day was Friday the 23rd.
