George, a very close friend, came in. "Boxing day is two days from now" He said .What's so special?? I replied. "Discounts on goods will be higher, It's like The Black Friday after Thanksgiving in America" He returned.
Boxing day is an holiday celebrated especially in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations on the first day after Christmas that is not a Sunday.
Boxing day is the day when most box of gifts are unwrapped. So most people keep the gifts received in the day of Christmas till then. Boxing day is a religious day also because It's Saint Stephen's day, A devout.
Boxing Day is also an important day for
sporting events. Traditionally, fox hunting was a popular sport in the upper class. Pictures of hunters on horseback dressed in red coats and surrounded by hunting dogs are often seen as symbolic of Boxing Day.
Nowadays, fox hunting is outlawed. Horse racing and football (soccer) are now popular sports. In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, Test cricket matches are played on Boxing Day.
The major reason why people love this day is because of the high reduction in the cost of goods and services especially in Canada.
I really love this day, do you??
