Black Friday

As well as Black Friday ( which seems to have been every day this month ) I notice we now have Cyber Monday so only another 5 days to name.
All seem in some way to be related to supposed bargains so wonder if anyone on here has an idea for naming the other days ?

Spammer's/Scammer's Saturday
Silly Sunday
Thoughtless Tuesday
WTF Wednesday
Terrific Thursday

Working along similar lines, I would suggest............
Foolish Friday
Mithering Monday

Feel free to add your own  :D

    I think it’s a real cheek having ‘Black Friday’ when we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK. And especially when it goes on for weeks. As bad as Trick or Treat, just an excuse for rampant commercialisation.

    @Ergates  If you are alive, healthy, have water and food, aren't being bombed,  imprisoned or worse for your ehtnicity, religion or WHY, I would guess every day is probably a Thanksgiving day.
    As for Trick and Treat I've only had that occur a couple of times in the last decade.  I was prepared on the first occasion and gave the children some spare sweets.  The next time, I asked them to perform a trick - wasn't impressed with the results so no treat :D

    OH has been keeping an eye on a couple of electronic gadgetty things that he wants to buy, probably from the big river online retailer. For both of them the prices went up last week :|. He was hoping there'd be a good deal today (being cyber Monday). I guess he'll tell me whether there was or not when he gets in from work.

    There's a possibility for snow near the end of the week... something snow related
