Just Canada? Jeeze!
"Boxing Day is a bank and public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Greenland, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Jamaica and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population."

There's no Boxing Day in 'Murica? Hah. Neat.

WHY R PEOPLE TO SHOPPING?
Stupid commercially driven day. I hate Canada's malls... Specifically Vancouver's malls.

Boxing day sucks. Atleast no relatives came down to visit us this year, I do so hate family get-togethers.

So this is like instead of Christmas, or in addition to?
Happy Boxing Day, Canada and UK! - Saz - 12-27-2009
It's the day after christmas.

Didn't you know, Jack? Jesus was only born for the Americans. Everywhere else gets Boxing Day.
Happy Boxing Day, Canada and UK! - Jesper - 12-27-2009
<.<
Boxing Day is in America, too. That is, some Americans celebrate it.
...or they could just be shopping the day after Christmas and it's all some sort of crazy coincidence.

Oh, so according to a friend, our Boxing Day is basically the same thing as your Black Friday.
As far as the rampant consumerism/psychotic retail environment, etc.

Boxing day is always "presents from the other side of the family and a second christmas dinner" day for me.

Yup
It's essentially a sale to get rid of stock before the new year, because of taxes and what not.

That and it's the biggest day of returns.

Ander, no Happy Boxing Day for the Brits? I'm appalled.
Happy Boxing Day, Canada and UK! - Sage - 12-29-2009
British people aren't actually people.
...I thought this was covered a while back.

America > Canada > England?
Or is it America > Canada < England?

Wouldn't that make America = England? I prefer America > England > Canada, though I give points to Canada for being a nice hat.

The problem with Canada is the same with Russia. Should any other country engage in combat on foot, they would all freeze to death while the Canadians were wrestling bears.

It only said on the calendar that it was celebrated in Canada. Fixed.
