I've noticed that quite a few people here does not know what Boxing Day is (it's today!). Here's a quick explanation thanks to Wikipedia:

Boxing Day is a bank holiday or a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, Greenland, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Macau, Nigeria and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. In South Africa this public holiday is now known as the Day of Goodwill. Though it is not an official holiday in the United States, the name "Boxing Day" for the day after Christmas has some currency among Americans, particularly those that live near the Canada – United States border.

Frankly speaking, it's a holiday but we people in Malaysia can't have a public holiday. And during Boxing Day shops are now trying to get rid of old "before Christmas" stocks by holding extravagant sales.

Hopefully this little information can help some of those understand more about Boxing Day.

Have a nice day :)
