Black Friday shoppers congregate at 6 a.m. outside Home Depot at 30144 US Hwy 19 N on Nov. 29, 2024, to grab doorbuster deals on poinsettias, tools, and Christmas decorations in Clearwater. The tradition, marking the unofficial start of the holiday season, originated from descriptions of post-Thanksgiving traffic and chaos but later came to symbolize the point when retailers shift from loss (in the red) to profit (in the black) during the holiday sales season.
