Boxing Day.
A time for planning out your attack on your favorite high street stores
while shop assistants quiver at the sight of the fashion hungry zombies that
claw their perfectly manicured hands into the glass doors.
A time for grabbing the cheapest item of clothing and not having a care
in the world weather or not it fits or if it’s the right colour for you...(the
only thing that’s right is the price)
A time for spending most of your Christmas money without a care in the
world (until you realize how much you've actually spent and then panic at the
thought of needing money for important things like car insurance or feeding
your dog)
Usually
for most fashion hungry boys and girls, Boxing Day is one of the most sought
after events on their calendars after Christmas. Boxing day morning I woke up to
hundreds of emails, once opened I was bombarded with large red text screaming...
'50% OFF IN STORE, BUY BUY BUY! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BUY! COME DOWN
TO THE SALES!'
My first
initial thought was.... no. I actually value my life and personally I do not
want to run around a shop like a headless chicken looking for an item that was
£50 now £10 to then wear it just to be able to say to your friends "Yeah,
you like this dress, I got it in the sale, £10 can you believe it?!" Yes I
can believe it, because you look like you have been dragged through the jungle
of beaded dresses and neck snapping shoes, there might even be some battle
wounds from the woman who took that last size 10 top and 'accidentally' hit you
with a wooden hanger when you tried to grab it for your self.
I may be
going a bit over the top with my personal thoughts on boxing day sales but to
be honest, id rather sit in the comfort of my own home and buy online! I do
think its important to try before you buy but I also believe in a comfortable
shopping atmosphere where you have at least half a meter of breathing space 360
degrees around you at all times, but hey... everyone can have their own
opinions right? Its not called Boxing Day for nothing ;)
If your unsure about the reasons behind Boxing Day, here’s a link I
found with a little information on the days name.
Happy Sale Shopping!
