Ahum... , what is "boxing day"?? Is everyone in the mood for boxing then ??
Boxing Day is an old British holiday, originally it was a day when boxes of food and other things were given out to the poor. Now though it's the day when all stores put the stock they have on sale. In Canada at least most of the stores keep the sales going till new year's day...which is why I no longer go shopping on boxing day.

It seems as though most countries in the British commonwealth celebrate it as well.
