Small Saturday, the rebranding of "hump day" into a positive mid-week celebration where you do something that would make you happy rather than being grumpy that it's only Wednesday.
Coined by Jennifer Hayashi and originated in Gifu, Japan in 2006 where weekly BBQ's would be held to celebrate Small Saturday with fellow exchange students.

The Saturday after Black Friday. This is the day when business' realize that they are screwed and start thinking about Chapter 13. They tried opening on Thanksgiving offering ridiculous discounts only to find out that it is costing them more in protests, petitions, and lawsuits then the profits they made for the day. Black Friday wasn't any better as most of the shoppers that came in were just looking at the items that they wanted to buy online cheaper then any Black Friday deal would have got them.
Joe: Hey did you go shopping on Black Friday or Small Business Saturday?
Dave: Nah man, I'm doing mine on Cyber Monday

The exact same groups of people that had small businesses shut down forever are the kinds of people that came up with small business Saturday.
Small business Saturday will never undo what is done to a business when it is forced to shut down for weeks or months at a time.

If you support a business at all, you support it enough, you don't have to spend money at a small business once a week to prove that you're a good enough citizen to some entity that doesn't really give a fuck about you, the business, or whether you're a good enough citizen (the same entity that created Small Business Saturday).
Small Business Saturday is a way to control people's spending habits, nothing more and nothing less.
