[Misc] Christmas Eve Boxes

[Bozza]

I've only just heard about this phenomenon.

I like Christmas. I like Christmas a lot. I like giving presents. Particularly to the kids.

But where the hell has this Christmas Eve Box thing come from?

Anyone else already doing Christmas Eve Boxes? Am I just late and a bit Bah Humbugy to the party?

Excellent news, you can start walking to the Amex on Xmas day, just in time for the game on BD, given there's no sodding trains!!

Nope, what is this bollocks? Is it another Yank thing?

I thought this was going to be a thread about those countries where Christmas Eve is the bigger day, but no this seems like another commercial angle to extract more money from gullible consumers.
What next a Christmas Eve Eve box, a Boxing Day box, the day after Boxing day box.

To me Christmas presents are for Christmas Day and Christmas Day alone. I fail to see why a box is required to get children ready fro Christmas Day. I found telling my son that Santa won't call unless you're asleep in bed always worked.

Something I was oblivious to before opening this thread and something tha tI want to instantly forget about.

Obviously a chance to make more money somehow.
