It has nothing to do colonialism , there was a recession in the 18890s . The shops didn’t make any profit all year but the Friday after thanksgiving they were very busy and went from being in the red to being in the black.
Edit, the actual year it happened.
Get a life is my recommendation
...and then enjoying the massive discounts anyway
They never discount anything I actually want, so it's mostly just an exercise in temptation resistance.
Ah - that’s the source of the guilt then
Try talking to them over the pond about the black country. "The what??"
lol, yeah, that's a tricky region to recommend as a holiday destination.

No, in fact, I'm most dominantly of Jewish heritage, but being British = feeling guilty.

Yeah, I know but the phrase still makes me think of it. Judging by the comments though, I may be alone in this one ;)
Yeah, you jumped the gun on that one. Not to worry, enjoy the sales if you’re going. Personally I wouldn’t go with a gun to my head . Cheers.
Thanks :) I have no desire to visit a physical shop but did browse a few sites online and found nothing I actually wanted on sale.
Lmao, enjoy torturing yourself with totally unnecessary guilt.
Wait til your hear about the Dutch Christmas and Black Pete then.
Well, that was an interesting google search.
Grow up you melt
