Why is it called Boxing Day?

It's a nice quiet boxing day! ; Everyone has left early to get out boxing day shopping and I'm home by myself, it's quiet, drinking tea and boxing day shopping online! ; Need to check out the disney store and see what they have on sale today!

What a boxing day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; I'm exhausted.....
I was at Bestbuy this morning for 5:30 am in order to get my new Sony 52" HD LCD tv and Blueray player... ; Got the last one too.
If that wasn't enough, DW had me out shopping at Leons after that and bought a whole new Living Room set...
Yes, it has been a very expensive day, and to top it off my Blue ray player doesn't work so I have to return it on the 28th.
Love the tv though ;D

Well I usually don't go out for Boxing Day as I'm usually in FLA!!!!

This year worked at DS at VM!!! ; What a Zoo!!!!

Took an hour to find parking then went around to check out the "deals", none! ; But DD ended up scoring because American Apparel was having a sale so I added to her Christmas Gifts!

Bought a BlueTooth for myself, since we now can no longer talk on our cell phones! ; Not bad quality considering I only paid $16.00!!!!! ;

But the deals were not out there like days of past!


Now it's time to get ready for the New Year!

Almost forgot, ; I ordered an Olympus underwater digital camera from Future Shop online for only $99. ; It will be great for the waterparks!

Great buy. Waterproof, sand proof, drop proof.

I personally avoid shopping on Boxing Day,if at all possible - I've had my fill of malls by then. ; Glad to hear you all got some deals though - terrific!

Here it is, we currently shopping for a new wall unit to put it into when the rest of the new living room furniture arrives

Nice unit. ; I stayed in and kicked back all boxing day. ; I have done the boxing day thing once, and found that the deals were only there for the first guys in line. ; Not worth getting up at 0500.
