Recently we had a friend who’s never heard of the tradition, “Black Wednesday” — this inspired us to write about it for the blog today. “Black Wednesday” isn’t your typical tradition; it’s more like a pre-party to Thanksgiving that’s become a staple gathering for friends, family, and anyone craving a piece of home before the holiday rush.
The story behind this unofficial kickoff to Thanksgiving isn’t rooted in historical events like “Black Friday.” It evolved naturally, emerging as a day when people, especially college students and those coming back to their hometowns, meet up and soak in the vibes of being home.
