Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving — informally the start of the Christmas shopping season — generating more than $9 billion in U.S. retail sales and shifting increasingly online since 2020. Buy Nothing Day was launched by Adbusters magazine in 1992 as a protest against consumerism on Black Friday — encouraging a 24-hour pause from purchasing to reflect on overconsumption and its environmental costs. National Family Health History Day was established by the U.S. Surgeon General’s Office on Thanksgiving — a day when three or more generations gather — to encourage families to discuss their medical histories and identify heritable disease risks. National Bavarian Cream Pie Day celebrates the pastry cream enriched with gelatin and whipped cream — named for the Bavarian region of Germany, layered into pastry shells or formed into elaborate molded desserts.
