The hustle and bustle of the holiday season doesn’t end with Christmas. In fact, for many Canadians, one of the most exciting days to look forward to is Boxing Day! On December 26th, shoppers, families, and friends come together to make the most of this post-Christmas celebration. Whether you're taking advantage of Boxing Day sales or simply enjoying time with loved ones, this is a day filled with excitement and joy.

Let’s dive into the history of Boxing Day, how to make the most of it, and some tips from me, Sanjay Sukdeo, to ensure you have the most blissful holiday experience possible!

What is Boxing Day?

While Boxing Day may be synonymous with shopping and sales today, its roots go far beyond that. Historically, Boxing Day was a day when the wealthy would give gifts to their servants and those in need. It’s believed that the name came from the tradition of “Christmas boxes” that were given to service workers, full of leftover food, money, and other small gifts.

In modern times, Boxing Day has evolved to include massive retail sales, offering deep discounts and promotions that many look forward to all year long. But beyond shopping, it's also a day for spending time with family, unwinding after the Christmas rush, and enjoying seasonal fun.

Tips for a Memorable Boxing Day

Shop Smart, Not Hard Boxing Day sales can be overwhelming, with stores packed with eager shoppers looking for the best deals. If you plan to shop, it’s a great idea to do a bit of research beforehand. Make a list of items you need, compare prices, and set a budget to avoid overspending. Many retailers now offer Boxing Day sales online as well, allowing you to avoid the crowds and shop from the comfort of your own home!

Relax and Recharge After the intensity of Christmas Day, Boxing Day is the perfect opportunity to slow down and relax. Whether that means catching up on sleep, watching a holiday movie marathon, or enjoying some leftover turkey sandwiches, take this day as a chance to recharge your batteries. Boxing Day should be about enjoyment—don’t feel pressured to do more than you can handle.

Get Outdoors If you’re looking to burn off some of those holiday calories, Boxing Day is a great time to enjoy the great Canadian outdoors. Many people take advantage of the day off to go for a winter walk, hit the local ski hills, or even take part in some family-friendly tobogganing. It’s a great way to spend quality time with your loved ones while embracing the winter wonderland.

Spread the Cheer In the original spirit of Boxing Day, take some time to think of others. If you have leftover food from Christmas, consider donating it to a local shelter or helping out at a community centre. Giving back to your community is a wonderful way to cap off the holiday season and share your joy with others.
