More Boxes, More Bags, More Boxing Day.

Yey or Neigh. Is Boxing Day just a greedy excuse to buy more presents for ourselves?

Yes we get it. The sales at Holt Renfrew on Boxing Day are obscene and anybody would be mental not to go there and splurge. But something seems a little offside with this holiday. Especially considering its history about giving “boxed” gifts to those in need the day after Christmas. Somehow through advertising, greed, and manipulation we’ve turned this holiday into a second Christmas – where instead of buying gifts for our loved ones, we now buy them for ourselves.

In recent years, retailers have even expanded their sales into a Boxing Week sale (as if one day wasn’t enough for us). This bank holiday has now turned into the biggest bank breaker of the year. So what say you? Will you be shopping merrily on December 26th?
