Boxing Week.

I keep coming across wall posts on Boxing Week sales from friends abroad. So off I went to Wikipedia and here’s what I got: Boxing Week is a period of six days or more that starts with Boxing Day and ends with New Year’s Eve. It may also include a few days before Christmas and/or after New Year’s Day. It is not strictly a week. It is a term that was invented by the retail industry a few years ago (at least in Canada) to enable them to extend (hopefully) the Boxing Day sales frenzy. For someone who loves sales, I am so glad that I can take advantage of the great deals even if I live at the other side of the world. All thanks to online shopping!
