On Nov 11, there is a holiday created by Chinese people for singles（单身人士）. It is known as Singles' Day. But now it has become the biggest online shopping day in the world. T-mall, Taobao and many other online shopping sites offer huge sales on this day to attract shoppers. This year's sales reached 253. 97 billion yuan.
There are similar shopping days in the United States as well. The most well-known of these is Black Friday. It always falls on the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. On this day, stores will offer special deals, just like on Singles'Day in China.
On Black Friday, shoppers will often wake up very early to wait in line at stores before they open. They might start to wait in line as early as 2 or 3 am. Sometimes the crowds will be so big that it is impossible to get inside the store.
Personally, I don't like any of these holidays. They place too much importance on buying things. What do you think about these holidays?
