Here in the UK Boxing Day (day after Christmas) has been a day for us plebs to receive money. It was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year. This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663. This custom is linked to an older English tradition: Since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts and bonuses, and sometimes leftover food

But this year it is more blessed to give (or at least spend) than receive on Boxing Day. Records tumbled in the Boxing Day sales as frenetic shoppers sent tills into meltdown. Millions of bargain-hunters made a beeline for the high street, with some queueing since midnight to ensure they bagged the best deals. Retailers up and down the country slashed prices and opened as early as 6am in a bid to entice them to part with their cash. In London's West End shopping mecca, by 11am footfall was up 31.3 per cent on Boxing Day last year with sales fuelled by rich tourists. The UK average footfall was up by 21.6 per cent.

All this got be thinking about the Joy of Shopping and why at this time of year shopping is not a joy. By the way the sublimest joy of shopping is shoe shopping. Why? The sheer range of styles, the pure artwork and originality that goes into a pair of shoes. Take this shiny platform variant on the good old peep toe:
 |
| Lucky girl! And lets see those close up |
|
 |
| Look a the smooth classic lines, the platform for added height and the cheeky peeky toe |
Yes guys, I know there are loads of different styles of tights
And the growth of suspender tights has brought in a whole new ranges of styles
 |
| Not quite your classic suspender tights but you can see the suspender tights influence with the bow at the top |
Nevertheless - shoes are a 3D art form in a way tights will never be. Even the most stylish tights are a flat 2D design wrapped round your legs.
But back to my there the Joy of Shopping and why you can't do it in the sales
(1) You need a BF if you can find one
They can be a pain - not understanding why you have a go into every shoe shop. But they are an invaluable source of cash. I find they are even less likely to come out to the shops in the scrum of the sales.

| Nice boy |
 |
| Well trained. Pays when he is told and carries the bag. Oh the power of seamed tights or stockings |
(2) Shopping is about looking
Time to browse. Look at the pgoodies. Touch and feel. Would you rush a trip to an art gallery? Enjoy before you buy. Enjoy when you can't buy. How can browse when hoards are ripping shoes from the shelves?
(3) Shopping is about being looked at not just looking
Dress to go shopping. Let everyone else see how good you look. Life is a catwalk. But at this time of year, no one will be looking at you as they rush for that last reduced Gucci handbag
(3) Shopping is about try before you buy or even try before you don't buy
The sensual pleasure of trying a pair of new shoes. Of seeing how good you look in them in the mirror. Of discussing them with a girl friend. Thinking you see the admiring looks of other shoppers. (Of course the the guy looking at you may just be a perv enjoying the fact you are wearing tights but no shoes). Deciding do whether you buy this pair, or that pair, or both. Now you can't try a pair of tights on before you buy and there is no chance to try shoes on in the sales. (Another bitch will pull them off your feet threatening to blind you with her stiletto if you don't surrender).
(4) Shopping is about service
Probably because I am such a sick fuck I love having another girl kneeling at my feet helping me with my new shoes. Smell my sweaty tights bitch! I might just buy these shoes and get you commission if you let me put my foot right in your face!

| I think this lady is a mature dom |
 |
| Bitch do the straps up for me |
So keep calm. Don't rush to the shops and buy in the sales. In fact you will probably spend more money getting things before they go. You may get stuff you don't want and miss the joy of shopping.
I had a couple of aunts that the pictures above of the two girls reminded me of. They always wore pantyhose or tights and took off their heels whenever they were inside. They were my mom's sisters but my mom was adopted so she was tall and these two aunts were tiny, like under 5 feet tall. They were always very proud of my height and always had fun with how much taller i got than them. It started when I was 8 years old they noticed I was taller than them. I grew to 7 feet tall. By the time I was grown I could hold both of them one in each arm. They both had tiny feet and both of their feet combined was smaller than one of my feet. they were my biggest (smallest really) fans while i played basketball. I loved how tiny they were to me and how they had such pretty little feet in pantyhose.
