Christmas Day is over, and
BOXING DAY
has just barely begun! Whee!
We all know that BOXING DAY is observed andcelebrated the day after Christmas Day,but do you know the reason why we celebrate this occasion?
AND NO! It isn't the day where people spendthe whole day boxing each other, you twit!
BOXING DAY is a traditional celebration,dating back to the Middle Ages, and consistedof the practice of giving out gifts to employees,the poor, or to people in a lower social class.
Well, in modern times and yes, in Singapore too,most major malls and commercial institutions begin theirclearance sales on this day where everything must go!
It's really a great day for shoppers to check outthe best bargains just before the year ends!
So, there we have it! BOXING DAY!
And oh, if you've the time, better rush to the sale now!
