Boxing Day is here. Boxing Day—a shopper’s delight
We’re in London’s West End for Boxing Day, a holiday that originated in the UK. It’s said the event takes its name from the historic practice of employers giving their servants and tradespeople boxes of gifts on the day after Christmas (since the servants had to work on Christmas Day). But in modern times, it's all about the shopping. Did you hunt down any Boxing Day deals?
