  Don't blame the internet, you *know* you want to be like America in every way!   :oranna:

TBH, I'm surprised Swedish stores haven't picked up on this yet. Yet another way to make money, yet another way to Americanise themselves.

I think Odeon should lead Sweden into the brave new world of Black Friday!   :viking:

No black Fridays here, thank goodness. Shopping is awkward enough without that. Especially with December coming closer.  :P

Boxing Day can be a big shopping day here. Used to be that this was the day for buying batteries for Christmas presents. Don't know if it still is.

I know this is late but I didn't get around to posting it.

Has anyone here ever done it or did it this year? I did it for the very first time on Thursday night. My brothers love doing it and I decided to try it just for the experience. I didn't find it bad at all and I decided I could do this every year.

It's a good thing this thread had a clear title.

Pretty much.  Traditionally the retailers would hold off on hawking Christmas crap until the day after Thanksgiving.  Now they start the day after Halloween, or sooner, so the date is just a holdover now.

It's pretty much how they do things here, too. Any excuse will do. For some reason they've not managed to introduce Thanksgiving yet.

It should take more than that to stop them. There's money to be made!
