Boxing Day Is the Holiday America Needs to Adopt Right Now (The New York Times)

But the true appeal of Boxing Day is not the sales, it’s the pressure it takes off Dec. Maybe Boxing Day is one of those Canadian things, like Coffee Crisp and the Tragically Hip, that seem as if they would work perfectly well in the U.S. The promise of Boxing Day — a day just for you — makes it all so much more bearable. The genius of Boxing Day is that it’s a holiday from the holidays — which means it’s the holiday we all need right about now. The origins of Boxing Day, which is observed in Britain, Canada and several Commonwealth countries, are English, rooted in a tradition of offering a little something to the poor and to servants on Dec. Above all, you can shop: Boxing Day, or properly, Boxing Week, has become the biggest shopping season of the year in Canada, outranking even Black Friday in November — a tradition Canada has borrowed from the U.S., despite celebrating Thanksgiving on a Monday in October.

UP AND DOWN THE RIVER: Hooray, It's Boxing Day! (The Pioneer)

Cathy Johnson recounts the unclear origins of Boxing Day and what the holiday has evolved into in her most recent column.

Originally it began as a day to give gifts to the poor, a day off for servants and a day on which they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home to give and share the Christmas boxes with their families. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, Boxing Day, that is.

Boxing Day has served as a public holiday in the UK since 1871, but Scotland has only enjoyed it since 1974. These boxes are referenced in the diary of Samuel Pepys from 1663, and they were thought to contain gifts of gratitude for the services of others throughout the year. As a festive holiday the date has existed for centuries yet many people are not aware of its origins, particularly as there are many conflicting theories on Boxing Day.

Boxing Day: après la tempête, les bonnes affaires (Le Journal de Montréal)

Les Québécois pourront profiter de leur lundi pour faire du magasinage d'après Noël à l'occasion du Boxing Day.

Je trouve qu’on est dans une société de consommation, on se crée des besoins», croit-il. C’est un peu la poursuite du party de [la veille]. «On n’a pas le choix, on doit échanger [une paire de souliers]. «Ici à Mascouche, il doit y avoir 70 employés en ce moment sur le plancher. Les gens aiment toucher les produits, se promener dans les allées, rencontrer d’autres gens. «On est venus pour utiliser les cartes-cadeaux que mes enfants ont reçues à Noël et leur acheter des vêtements d’hiver au rabais. L’inflation fait mal cette année», explique Julie Dubé, qui sortait du centre d’achats les bras pleins de sacs. Alors ils viennent», soutient M. Le Journal a mis un total de 45 minutes pour pouvoir sortir du stationnement bondé, en après-midi. Inflation ou pas, il va y avoir un hiver», fait remarquer M. «Quand je suis arrivé ce midi, il y avait des files d’attente aux deux portes, intérieure et extérieure. Un manteau, c’est la même chose.

Selon le sondage mené en août dernier auprès de 2505 Canadiens, six répondants sur 10 étaient affectés par les difficultés économiques, mais la plupart des participants entendaient dépenser à peu près le même montant, soit 790 $ chacun, qu’ils prévoyaient dépenser en 2021.

“We are supper greatful to our community for getting us through those years, so we are definitely going to be celebrating with them on the 26th.” She said there have been a large number of gift cards sold all through December, likely as Christmas gifts, so she expects many recipients of gift cards will be coming into the store after Christmas Day to redeem them, and hopefully have their value go further thanks to the sales. Clothing too is expected to be a sales driver, as those items are always popular at the store.

Boxing Day — beginning or the end? Use the week to prepare ... (SaltWire Network)

Q: My family and I love the holidays. Everyone comes to our house for Christmas and younger and older, we all really enjoy our time ...

Then start the new year organized and ready to follow through with your resolutions. While a busy party with lots on the go can be fun as the ball drops, January can be a long and stressful month. Boxing Day is the beginning of the end for many people. The bills roll in from the holidays, workplaces set goals for the year, school-age kids face assessments and exams to end a semester, and many post-secondary students are starting a new term with new courses. Christmas is over and the décor can come down. Participate in activities and events in your community or in one that’s within a short drive. The kids have asked to do some shopping, and then go skiing for a few days and to also visit with longtime family friends over New Year’s. The week between Christmas and New Year’s is family time for just the five of us. Even without high inflation, prices tend to go up over time, yet the dollar value of the gift cards stays the same. Do as much research as you can before clicking or tapping and focus on the current price of an item. And others have more of a lazy day and enjoy leftovers from a big meal the day before. For those shopping with gift cards, and especially kids who might not normally have that much money available to them, make a plan to get what you want at the best possible price point.
