Boxing Day

Boxing day is celebrate every 26th of December in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, U.K and Canada.

The whole thing started as act of charity from the rich people the poor of England. Presents would be given away for those that couldn’t afford to have them on Christmas.

Nowadays the date is famous for shopping. Shopping centres slashed their prices in order to attract more customers with some stores giving discounts up to 70%.

There is a catch though. These 70% discounts are only available for those who come on the early hours of the day. When I say early hours of the day, I mean really early such as 5 am. Some costumers sleep over in the doorstep to just have a chance to buy.

Don’t miss out this year boxing day if you are one of this “shopaholics” that love a bargain!!!
