To everyone who celebrates Boxing Day, enjoys boxes or is box-shaped, today is your day.
And good news: I’ve only received four Boxing Day/Week flyers in my inbox so far today. Progress!
Boxing Day nonsense
Happy Boxing Day 2022!
Boxing Day is silly, but I still did a new version of the Gum Gum drawing from last year. I would have spent more time on it, but got kind of lazy/blocked. But it’s okay (hee hee).
Boxing Day is not about boxing
The ad wizards at Sears probably think this is clever, but it’s really just kind of dumb.
Although I suppose some people might actually box each other to get to some of those sweet door crasher deals.
Also, wearing boxing gloves would make it difficult to pick up items you wished to purchase in-store or to enter your credit card information if ordering online. I suppose a particularly dextrous person might be able to use their toes or nose (for the online part, less so for in-store).
Also also: Strike two for “boxing week.” Don’t make me put on my boxing gloves.
