Spot on!

I won't be going out on Boxing Day. Never have and never will. I agree with some of you .... it's simply greed.

If nobody went shopping on Boxing Day the shops wouldn't open. Simple isn't it?

Steven bought petrol yesterday and I got an Amazon bargain, I'd say if people want to open and staff want to work let them, we have daft laws in uk really it stops people who want to work working.

It isnīt a national holiday here Tpin and I think itīs fair to say this is a Christian country. Catholics are classed as Christians arenīt they?

Re: Do we have to go shopping on Boxing Day?

I'm not going out until Wednesday and then it's a funeral so no shopping involved.
I think some of us just go to the shops to get some bright light, it's so dull at this time of year!

I meant the Christians in British society......afterall Boxing Day is a British thing. ....and a part of the Christmas hols.
As other religions dont celebrate Christmas its safe to say its not Boxing day but, just another day.
