Boxing day bust, thankfully

I've had a look at the boxing day flyers for all my local big box stores. I'm pleased to say there's nothing of note for me to purchase.

With the deals you've seen me finding recently it comes as no surprise. Literally everything I wanted (so I think) I've found on the clearance tables or buried away.

So I won't be up early and standing in any lines to save a few bucks on boxing day. Last time I did a boxing day blitz was 5 years ago when I needed many parts to build systems for family members. I bounced around buying burners, hdds, monitors, printers, et al and saved a great deal of money.

How about the rest of you? Is there anything you've seen so cheap you'll be up early hoping to get one? computer or otherwise?

we have no such thing as boxing day here

it must be great.. sounds that way..

Tell me, in Hungary, is the lions share of Christmas celebrated on the 24th like it is in the Czech Republic? Is the traditional Christmas meal fish?

Just curious

Oh I don't know. Boxing day can be hand-hand combat at times. We Canoodlians are more polite and always say excuse me after delivering a rabbit punch, whereas I hear our US friends take handguns to the big boxing day blowouts

Boxing day in the Commonwealth is nothing more than the first shopping day of the January sales.

What do they call it South in the US, Boxing Day, St Stephens day or the Second day of Christmas?

Or may be the 26th December

It's just 26 December - no name. (I'm tempted to respond with the old joke, "Do you have a Fourth of July in England?" ) But we do just what the Canadians do; we just don't give it a name, other than "After Christmas Sale!"

BTW, wallythacker, don't they say "Excuse me, eh?" after the rabbit punch?

Ce Geek, I'm ROFL so hard it's not funny. Yep, eh?

Now I know why we call it "boxing day" eh? Exchanging blows, eh?

LOL...

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Happy hols folks!

well usually we celebrate the evening of 24th ... 25th and 26th are still christmas, but no big deal... though on the 26th our family always spends an evening together with the more remote relatives, they come from even germany and canada (we have relatives everywhere eh)
but we could certainly do with such a thing as boxing day

Do these relatives have WiFi?
The thought that you'll be off-line and off-forum for three days It's inhumane

I shall lobby my MEP to make Boxing Day a EU wide event

... who is my MEP... humm

*googles*

Ah. Mrs Sharon Bowles


Good news, she's Liberal Democrat, I'll just tell her that Hungarians are being abused by not having Boxing Day

what three days, there's some confusion it is only one evening no, no one has wifi but i have gprs

ah, nice liberal woman, surely you can convince her!

Oh thank heavens, your here! I thought you'd left us

Yes, Canada will join the EU on a boxing day platform! We'll bring our vast experience with our elbows into the fold. (Why do you think the NHL'ers are so good with their elbows anyway, eh?)

We'll even promise to exchange our central Ontario winter for some nice southern English winter weather.

To seal the deal we'll promise to keep our unwashed unWEPed masses uneducated so EU'ers can wardrive to their hearts content

Isn't that Labour Party in the UK?
