Boxing Day: a time for napping, playing with all the toys you got your hands on at Christmas, and stubbornly refusing to change our of your pyjamas unless there’s a major sale involved.
But what is Boxing Day, other than a day when trains are crap and shops are packed? And how did it get its name?
So. The very, very basics: Boxing Day is the day after Christmas – December 26, celebrated in the UK.
It’s a bank holiday, so banks are closed, shops open later, and public transport definitely isn’t reliable. There are also loads of post-Christmas sales.
