Boxing Day to Canadians is their Black Friday (although they now partake in US version of that as well). It’s odd to me to go shopping the day after Christmas. No way.
In Pennsylvania there was a wonderful store with a little pharmacy in the back and a beauitufl gift shop in the rest of the store. It is where I purchased my Christmas cards and many decorations.
The year my friend said she was picking me up early on the 26th to be at the store when they opened I balked. She insisted. Everything Christmas was basically half off. Because we had our children with us they waited in the very long check-out line while we shopped. We knew the shop well, and were able to quickly find the items we wanted.
Two years in a row I was able to buy beautiful Christmas cards and save them until Christmas. I still have the beautiful angel tree topper I purchased, though sadly it is packed away where I can't get to it.
The kids actually had fun waiting in line since they were a group.
