Boxing day? Boxing day? What the hell is boxing Day and what does it mean? Thats what I want to know. All these years I have wondered what it actually means, so today I decided to check what it meant, via google. This is what google told me, well its from wikipedia actually haha;
Boxing Day is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. Contemporary Boxing Day in many countries is now a "shopping holiday" associated with after-Christmas sales.
So its a public holiday where loads of people escape their houses and go to the local or nearby town centre and spend their money on items which are in the 'boxing day/after chrismas' sales. Nice.
I like a good sale, also shopping.
I could grow to like boxing day.
I wonder if boxing day is celebrated the same way as us brits celebrate it. Please tell me as I'd like to know how you celebrate boxing day or if you don't.
So what plans have I got planned today for boxing day I hear you all ask, well, I am going to town with my mum as she needs a new washing machine and then I want to spend my giftcard on some music cds or games for my nintendo ds. We also might buy a wii if we can find one in a decent price, and if its in the sale haha. Ah I can't wait :)
Im off now, I shall be back later with another blog. Probably about how the sales went or something else.
Love from me
