It began looking a lot like Boxing Day early Monday, on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. (James Murray/CBC)

“Boxing Day” in Canada has nothing to do with the “fight game.” It refers to the day after Christmas Day, when hordes of shoppers go hunting for post-Christmas bargains, and to exchange Christmas gifts that need exchanging.

One lady said to me, “It’s like ‘hand-to-hand combat’ in some stores, so I just stay home on Boxing Day!”

For me? I curl up with a good book, like best-seller “Lost December” by Richard Paul Evans, or “Potevka’s Gifts” by Mike Ramsdell (author of best-seller “A Train to Potevka”).

Whether you go out to engage in “hand to hand combat” in some stores, or stay in to curl up with a good book, my best to you this Christmas Season.
