こんにちは、K-Uです。
クリスマス明けの12月26日はオーストラリアやニュージーランドではボクシングデーとしてセール日です。
アメリカではブラックフライデー、日本では福袋として正月がにぎわいます。
それらと同じようにオーストラリアでもボクシングデーは国民的に認知された最安セール日です。
ボクシングデーとは
クリスマスの翌日で、元々は、教会が貧しい人たちのために寄付を募ったクリスマスプレゼントの箱(box)を開ける日であったことから"Boxing Day"と呼ばれる。スペルは同じだが、スポーツのボクシングの意味ではない。
クリスマスも仕事をしなければならなかったバトラーはじめ、使用人たちに翌日、家族と過ごさせるための休日で、この日は一家の者たちは使用人に頼らず自分で全ての家事をしなければならない。また当日、主人が箱に贈り物を入れて彼らに配った。他、クリスマスにクリスマス・カードやプレゼントを届けてくれた郵便配達員にも、ねぎらいの意を込めて26日(当日が日曜日の場合は27日)に箱入りのプレゼント(Christmas box)をする。また、バーゲンセールが行われる。
ボクシングデーは近場かシティで
どこへ行っても混んでるのでこの日ばかりは交通機関を使う事が望ましいです。
また、シティへ行けば結構掘り出し物がみつかります。
というのも、やはり人が集まるのはシティですから。
近場でももちろんセールはやっています。
近場にショッピングセンターがあればそこでも十分安いです。
ボクシングデーに車で行く場合
この日ばかりはどこも人だらけです。
車移動であればハイウェイが動かないなんて普通です。
駐車場も探すだけで大変。
どうしても車で行く場合
- 早朝から現地入り
- 駐車場の場所を予め確認しておく
- 帰りの事も考え1日その場所や買い物で費やす覚悟
これらを踏まえて行動しましょう。
