Every year at the end of November, shop windows turn black and red, counters speed up and carts fill at record pace.
It’s Black Friday, the most anticipated shopping event of the year.
But where does this tradition actually come from? And above all… what does it have to do with your favorite creative hobbies?
A bit of history: from traffic jams to great deals
The term Black Friday dates back to the 1960s in the United States. Originally, it described the chaos in the streets of Philadelphia the day after Thanksgiving, when everyone rushed into the city to begin their Christmas shopping.
Shopkeepers quickly saw an opportunity to turn this “black day” into a golden day, offering exceptional promotions to attract the crowds.
Today, it has become a global event – sometimes even a full week of deals. But at Oraloa, we prefer to call it…
