So the local Next has a sign on its door saying they have a sale on at some crazy hour on Boxing day. So not only are they exploiting workers they also have contempt for Ireland. We don't have a boxing day. So in the spirit of an Irish Christmas, go screw yourself next. When I am in your shop again I am going to steal something !

Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses or employers,[1] in the United Kingdom, Barbados, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Bermuda, New Zealand, Kenya, South Africa, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and other former British colonies. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December.

In South Africa, Boxing Day was renamed Day of Goodwill in 1994. In the Roman Catholic Church's liturgical calendar, the day is dedicated to St. Stephen, so is known as St. Stephen's Day to Catholics, and to the population generally in Italy, Ireland, Finland, and Alsace and Moselle in France. It is also known as both St. Stephen's Day and the Day of the Wren or Wren's Day in Ireland. In some European countries, most notably Germany, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands and those in Scandinavia, 26 December is celebrated as the Second Christmas Day.[2]

just for the record before ww6 breaks out :-)

It is the most northerly county in all of Ireland, which is probably what you tried and failed to say I guess, but no harm clarifying.

I always refer to it as Boxing Day as St. Stephan's Day is a Christian holiday.

I wouldn't mind, they always seem to bring in tat for the sale anyway. But that's besides the point. It's sad that they are opening, should be the 28th at the earliest. To me the 26th is the best day of Christmas, the most craic, a few pints too. The thoughts of being back in work the next day is woeful. Death to the bad retailers!

It's good to see all the hardline churchgoers come out in support of such an important day in their calendar. Wonder how many will be in the pews on Saturday and how many will be sleeping off hangovers?

But then, at least we dont dishonour our beloved church by using a dreaded brit term, that would be wrong.

But its ok for the people that you might need stuff from to work on Christmas day etc? Like the tv stations, various utilities, maybe the odd garage in case of emergency?

Couldn't you just refer to it as December 26th?

Seeing as the holiday is not celebrated in this country.

People manage not to refer to the 4th Thursday in November as Thanksgiving for the same reason.
