There wasn't a lot of people shopping in Westfield today, certainly not as busy as it has been in previous years - but I’m glad as it meant less chaos and fighting

Black Friday is likely to be a factor. Personally, I do most of my sale shopping online. I've never seen the appeal of getting up very early on Boxing Day to queue outside a shop in the dark.

Why would one go out? You can browse online and sit at home for delivery too. It was an IN day in our household
Mum and I always used to go to the boxing day sales. I would spend my Christmas vouchers and mum would get cards, wrapping paper and presents for birthdays during the year. We haven't been for a few years now. We tend to wait a few days and go then.
