So we hope you've enjoyed Lacma's, can we just say welcome to Boxing Day, it's the 26th of december december.

I'm not losing my mind.

We want to talk to you guys about what Boxing Day is because there might be something that don't have it where they're from.

So this video is all about that.

Yeah, it's weird because again, it's something that we've been brought up with.

I thought it was a global thing.

I think Australia do it.

Maybe some other countries do too.

I know America doesn't call it Boxing Day, what might they call it?

The day after the day after christmas, they don't give it a name or they don't celebrate Boxing Day.

Not that you wake up going, it's Boxing Day.

I remember growing up, I'd always be like, mom, mom, it's Boxing Day, the day before christmas or after christmas, you're always be like, it's after. Yeah.

But it helps because then like the 27th you'd say is the day after Boxing days, like, so on the day after Boxing Day I went and did blah blah blah, you want to say the 27th.

And then you start getting into no man's land 28, what's that?

A few days before year's Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve.

It's good because christmas Eve comes before christmas day and Boxing Day, you just naturally know that that's then after, it's just in the same way that you'd say christmas Eve or christmas Eve.

Yeah, Boxing Boxing Day, I'm going home on christmas Eve this year.

Yeah, Okay, so let's get into Boxing Day.

Why is it called Boxing Day?

There's two different theories.

So one of them is that it's traditionally a time where employers would pack up boxes full of presents and give them to their employees and some say it might be called Boxing Day because you pack up a box almost shoebox size of presence and give them to the poor.

So no one really knows where it comes from.

There are lots of different theories about, but that's traditionally what Boxing Day meant.

Yeah, but nowadays it just means shopping.

In fact the last two years, you and I have both done the shoebox for charity, which is where you fill up a box and you send it to, it gets sent to a third world country and you can put in sort of like treats, you can put in like toothbrush, stuff like that.

Yeah, like little gifts, gifts, but that's not on Boxing Day, was it?

No, we do that for christmas day, but it just made me think of it cause it's a box.

Yeah.

But yeah, nowadays it just means shopping like the Boxing day sales start on Boxing day and lots of brits will leave the house on Boxing Day just to go shopping.

So you've had the chaos of christmas, you've done all the cooking, you've done everything, your family's upside down, You've argued, you've played board games and then the next day it's like shopping shopping, get them sales and buy... peoples people are, people pretend they're gonna be really prepared and buy everyone's present for next year.

Yeah, no one's done that.

How many people do you speak to that?

You're like, oh, if you don't know your shopping there like to get a year ago.

Yeah, no one, but that's why I don't really tend to ask for clothes for christmas because they're just gonna be reduced on Boxing Day and into the january sales.

So I've gone shopping on Boxing Day before I think, or the few days in the future christmas to New Year.

Yeah, I buy lots of clothes if you've got storage space, you can use that time of year to buy stuff like wrapping paper, christmas, crackers, stuff that you definitely for next year, next year cards.

If you're someone that sends cards, you could buy all your cards really cheaply.

But this Boxing Day sales is kind of like our equivalent of black friday people queue on the streets like Oxford Street in London is rammed.

Yeah, I wouldn't go anywhere near street on Boxing Day.

I wouldn't dream of it.

You see people with like prams and you're like, why are you here, Why people use it as a ramming device.

Yeah, no, horrific.

But I don't think ours are as aggressive as.... No, the black friday shoppers, yea, 'cause like we don't really have any like massive fights kick off.

Not that I've heard and seen on the news, the most dramatic thing that happened.

I remember a few years ago, someone was shot on Oxford Street on Boxing Day when it was full of like, or not shot.

I think he was stabbed or something.

But I remember seeing it on the news and stuff so like bad things happen but not that often.

Yeah, we've got a video that we're going to show you and react to and its shoppers hit Oxford Street for Boxing Day sales and it's busy but there's so much to call them.

Oh yeah, let's see.

Let's see the video.

This is Selfridges on Oxford Street.

Okay.

I love a queue look how early it is.

It's dark.

So they're queuing at like 4,5 A.M.

four a.m. People queue overnight look at how happy look and they're running.

But there's some walkers and then literally just being like letting really calmly black friday shoppers were literally like they are trampling.

Yeah, there's no one sporting over.

No, but that's casually strolling strollers, walkers.

I'm just gonna go to where I know I need to.

Yeah.

And they're all smiling.

All happy.

Selfridges in particular, it's the biggest day of the year.

It's the biggest volume across all of our stores and this year will absolutely be no exception.

Things are definitely tighter than you've seen for a while.

But I think Boxing Day will be more important than ever because people will be looking for bargains this year more than they've ever done before.

So we're anticipating that today, Oh, people love a bargain and that's what's so like universal about everything.

Everyone loves a bargain.

But money is an issue that everyone wants to save money because no one has enough money.

Yeah, no one's ever got enough money.

No matter how much you've got, you've never done enough and you're still out and you're still out on Boxing Day buying stuff you probably don't need, I'd rather pay the extra and go a quieter time.

Yeah.

Actually I'd rather pay for the Peacefulness by shopping experience.

Anyway, Boxing Day sales.

I'm really grateful.

I no longer work in a department store.

Yeah.

Hashtag grateful.

Hashtag blessed.

I never used to work between christmas and New Year anyway.

I've always taken it off.

I've always had like one or two weeks off at christmas.

Yeah, but it would be horrible to work in retail on Boxing Day.

Oh my gosh, my brother's done it.

We work for Next and that people, people go crazy for exhale Next.

It's like.... women's wear mostly, menswear as well.

Yes, equal. men's and women's wear. I buy less stuff at Next.

My underwear is from Next.

Don't be such a little slut.

Put that away.

Just imagine if I was like guys, my underwear is from got it out, get accused of being a slut because I do it.

It's not just boys being boys will be boys, boy boy boy boy boy boy, he's just being a boy.

Just so for those of you that don't go shopping, you've got Boxing day at home or with maybe like with cousins or family that you might not see on christmas day, so you can see everyone on Boxing Day, that's like a dog thing in my family.

We'll see.

Yeah, like extended family on Boxing Day.

Also, you might go for a walk, Boxing Day walk.

That's the thing.

Like a lot of people, some people do it in the afternoon on christmas day, but I think most people are like, let's get out of the house, we've been in the house on christmas day, let's go for a walk.

Yeah, I love that.

And you've got a dog for it exactly like that.

But the best part about Boxing day and the upcoming days is the, the leftovers left.

Oh my gosh, I just love cold savory food.

So this is my idea of heaven, This is legit, like I'm not, oh yeah, I'll just make a sandwich out of like a bit of turkey meat but of like cranberry, but this bit of that stuffing, stunning.

Make it yourself.

Yeah, wow all the time.

God get me a sandwich, make me a sandwich.

I don't lift a finger at christmas really?

Imagine when you have to cook christmas dinner, Oh my gosh, I'll be awful.

One time brother is a chef.

So he cooks christmas dinner with my dad, I might chop a carrot or something.

I don't really get involved just for a second, I just drink the second Oscar, I'll just be in here being the youngest sibling also people can be control freaks on christmas day about yeah my family that I get out my space so I'll try and help but like just go and play on instagram.
