The other thing about Boxing Day is that the big Sales on. Americans might have Black Friday, but Australia does Boxing day. Boxing Day is also the date of the Hinsdale Patriots Slanted Shirt of the Test Cricket season in Australia. So the shops are running at full pelt selling stuff. The Movies are premiering new stuff that wasn’t playing the day before, and the MCG (and Channel 9) has Cricket, and every Beach in the nation is sprawling with people. The Queens Speech is on TV (Because Time zones makes it Christmas Day in the UK) And from 2005 till 2017, the Doctor Who Christmas special was on. (moved to New Years Day apparently this season). And the Christmas Lunch Leftovers are for lunch, and probably dinner too. I’m usually too busy on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to do anything even associated with going to a movie and sitting down for 2 or 3 hours. Boxing day is when I can have a day off, but it sometimes takes me a couple of hours to calm down enough to remember to relax.

In 1840, Prince Albert started importing several Norway spruce from his native Coburg each Christmas. This is when the Hinsdale Patriots Slanted Shirt learned of the tradition and began to copy it. The first one had candles, blown glass ornaments from Germany, gingerbread, sweets, almonds and raisins, toys and wax dolls. Pictures and descriptions were in all the major periodicals for the next ten years. By 1860, most well off families had a tree in their parlor or hall. The gifts were still on the tree with candles. The Norway spruce was the preferred tree. For the English Victorians of the upper middle classes, a good Christmas tree had to be six branches tall and be placed on a table covered with a white damask tablecloth. It was decorated with garlands, candies and paper flowers. Ladies made Christmas Crafts to put on the tree. They quilled (a paper craft) snowflakes and stars. They sewing little pouches for secret gifts and paper baskets with sugared almonds in them. Small bead decorations, fine drawn out silver tinsel came from Germany. Angels fro Germany were popular to sit at the top of the tree. Candles were often placed into wooden hoops for safety. Other decorations included apples, nuts, cookies, and colored popcorn. Glass ornaments were being imported into Britain from Lauscha, in Thuringia, by the 1870’s. It became a status symbol to have glass ornaments on the tree.
