Which is why on Boxing Day I will be seeing my family at the ice hockey, with my ‘extended’ ice hockey family. It’s the one place we can guarantee we’ll all be together 😁

Sainsburys definitely won’t be following suit.
I am an online shopper, and we heard earlier in the year for the first time ever Sainsburys will be delivering online shopping on Boxing Day! I don’t work Sundays so it won’t affect me, but I’m hearing that anyone who has since tried to book that day off is being refused. Surely anybody getting Christmas food shopping in is going to have Christmas Day and Boxing Day covered food-wise? And there are no free holidays for us either, we have to use annual leave to cover Christmas Day Boxing Day etc…

As much as I applaud Morrisons and any other store that remains closed on Boxing Day, this year it falls on a Sunday( reduced Opening hours anyway) so for the Boxing Day Holiday on the 27th they will be open along with everyone else seeking to get everyone shopping as they have dared close for 48 hours

I’m old enough to remember=
If Christmas Eve was Friday it was Wednesday before the shops opened back up then again here in Scotland repeat at New Year ( just watch on you tube The Steamiee an iconic what needed to be done be fore the new year along with a hundred other things like washing the close or steps etc ) As a nurse and a daughter of a nurse many Christmas days were actually boxing days Christmas Eve when we+were little or mine were So I’m all for more family time if anything we should have taken from the last 17 months is you can never get time back . |

There are many of my colleagues that are contracted to do Sundays so will be paid for Boxing Day and will not have to make their hours up. I opted out of Sunday’s a few years ago which is an option for staff to do so.

Boxing Day Holiday is actually on the 28th Dec. Christmas Day Holiday is on 27th Dec. Both Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a weekend this year and therefore the bank holidays will both move.
Yep. There was a time when large shops actually used to shut on bank holidays. So, as you say, this year they'd shut early on Christmas Eve and then not reopen until Wednesday 29th. Four whole days without shops being open - how would anyone survive! Mind you, back then most shops (except newsagents and little corner shops) didn't open on Sundays at all and there was half-day closing on Wednesdays.
