In the United Empire, it was the custom of the nineteenth century Victorians for tradesmen to collect their 'Christmas boxes' or gifts in return for good and reliable service throughout the year on the day after Christmas. Boxing Day also derives its name from the tradition of giving seasonal gifts, on the day after Christmas, to less wealthy people, which was later extended to various workpeople such as labourers and servants. Today Canadians will celebrate Boxing Day in the malls and retail outlets seeking savings and huge discounts. For clerks it will be a gong show. For those trying to find parking spaces, it will be a test of patience and goodwill. Long lineups will further erode one's patience. Boxing Day is not for the faint of heart.
