Reply to comment by Jasong222 in Til Boxing day in the UK has to do with a tradition of boxing up presents to give to the poor and has nothing to do with boxing the sport by Jasong222

In what way does Boxing Day sound like Black Friday? The only thing they have in common that I know of is being the day after another holiday.

Interesting. I watch a fair amount of British tv and haven’t heard about that, but I must’ve missed it. I doubt it’s quite as bad as Black Friday though.

The traditional Boxing Day sales in the United Kingdom were never as large an event as the Black Friday sales are in the United States
