Boxing day sales are a traditional UK sale, goes back to the Victorian reinvention of Christmas. Black Friday is unambiguously American, with a trigger even that has no analogue in UK culture, and can bugger right off.

Right, so let me get this straight. What you're objecting to isn't excessive commercialism, but this particular instance of excessive commercialism, while all the others are fine.

That's pretty weird, but carry on.

From 2013: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2529381/Boxing-Day-sales-begin-Thousands-queue-grab-post-Christmas-bargains-stores-slash-prices-50.html

"As the doors opened at 9am at Selfridges in London, security guards urged them to ‘keep calm’, shouting ‘there are old people and children in the queues, please stop pushing’ and ‘take your time, you will all get in, don’t panic’."

China. China is the place companies should be pushing for Black Friday, and hell, Boxing Day sales. I bet they're already cooking up the plans.

American commercialism has no right to impinge on other cultures' unique and diverse forms of commercialism.

With the amount of excessive commercialism western society has, I don't blame anyone for not wanting another day of rush sales imported into their country, since they think they already have enough.
