Most Supermarkets and shops across the country will shut their doors on Christmas Day to allow people to enjoy the festive celebrations and endless food with family and friends.

Despite some people’s desire to stay in the heat, the day after Christmas day was once one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Although the famed ‘Boxing Day Sales’ have cooled off slightly, mostly due to the popularity of online shopping, some supermarkets and shops still decide to open their doors.

The decorations are still hung, and a festive aura still hangs in the air.
