Boxing day
I read recently that Boxing Day used to be the day the servants and poor people celebrated and were given gifts (seeing as they had to work on Christmas Day). And it got me to thinking (sorry for the Carrie'ness of that) what about all the people who have to work boxing day. It's weird how we all go out in a mad spending rush buying stuff for people with the last few days before Christmas being just manic! We buy stuff for people we feel obligated to buy for. This stuff will probably be put in a cupboard somewhere. This stuff is never normally stuff we would buy for ourself yet we feel compelled to buy it seeing as it's wrapped in red ribbon and is in a "Christmas Shop" inside a giant department store trying to push boxes of smelly stuff on us. Then wait 24 hours and then it's all given away for 50p and we do it all again only this time buying this stuff as it's a bargain. As my dad always says "it's only a bargain if you need it" and I really really needed that set from Boots! 22:58
