Today, 26 December, is Boxing Day in Australia, which coincidentally is my first ever Boxing Day. I first thought it had something to do with, you know, boxing, the sport. But apparently, this Commonwealth countries’ public holiday was originally about giving to the less fortunate. But thanks to capitalism, it is now all about year-end sale shopping. At least, that’s what I gathered from walking around Melbourne CBD today. Sale, Sale and Sale everywhere. Kind of like the Black Friday. Making it two Black Fridays in a year, in two consecutive months. Ironic, if you ask me, because it’s precisely the opposite of the original meaning of it, giving.
