Happy Holidays from Unicahome!
Unicahome has searched throughout our site to mark down and organize our clearance section in the spirit of a Boxing Week Sale.
Boxing Day. What is it?
Unless you are in Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, or a few other places, you may be wondering what Boxing Day is. Even if you are from an aforementioned country you still may not know the true origin of Boxing Day because it seems there are many theories.
We can tell you what Boxing Day is NOT named after:
- Boxing matches: you may find some brawls over the last item left in the sale department.
- Boxing up unwanted gifts to return them: we are certain this is a common activity on this day for pink sweaters.
- Boxing up decorations: who wants to put them away this early after all the hard work of unstringing those lights?
Boxing Day origins are fuzzy, it is a holiday that falls on December 26 (in some countries). Although Unicahome is located in the US, we thought it would be fun to partake in the Boxing Day spirit by doin this Boxing Week sale.
Amongst the theories of the name Boxing:
- a box in which employees of a household would receive a holiday bonus/coins
- the leftover food and goods from the holidays would be boxed up for the employees of the household to take to celebrate with their family
- boxed gifts for the service workers
Today, Boxing Day can be compared to the American Black Friday day after Thanksgiving. Tremendous sales along with excited shoppers. It is a holiday in most areas of the British Commonwealth with marked down deals and bargain hunters.
In the spirit of Boxing Day, Unicahome suggests leaving a little thank you treat for the postman, waste management, or other service professionals. Donating or helping those less fortunate, and enjoying this day off with family and friends if you do happen to be in one of those locations that celebrates Boxing Day.
