Which of the following day is the best?
I like the week or so leading up to Christmas. When it finally comes I'm bummed out because there's nothing to look forward to..except yet another semester starting..
I actually didn't know about Boxing day, but I picked it because I just don't really feel Christmas anymore.
Boxing Day; there are sales and it means that Christmas is finally over.
Basically anytime between 26th and 31st is great - It's the home stretch and is exciting to think that the upcoming year will be much better than the current year...even if nothing really changes.

Boxing day, because then it's all over ;)
You humbug! Christmas Day because all my family get together and we have a great time.
@Nux: It's the day after Christmas Day. Originally it was the day that you took everything that got replaced by Christmas presents, boxed them up and gave them to your servants. Now stores use it as the day they clear inventory on stuff they didn't sell over the holidays. Pretty much everything goes on sale; just like Black Friday in the US but without the riots because everyone already did their christmas shopping.

Thats pretty cool actually. I don't see why anyone would want to buy stuff after Christmas but hay who doesn't love a good sale.

There are a couple reasons to buy stuff after christmas. If there is something you want but didn't get it for christmas now you can just buy it. If you got a gift card or money for christmas then a sale is great. Last year I wanted Heavy Rain but got an EB Games gift card. Of course, the place was packed so they had bouncers controlling the flow of people in and out. I stood in line for 45 minutes to get inside so I could stand in a line for 20 minutes to buy the game. They had their flyers and demo units set up outside for people in line though.

Boom. Now I don't have to explain myself. Google knows me.
Christmas Day because of presents and the food. The traffic is really bad on Christmas Eve and a lot of the stores are really packed so it's really annoying if you want to go out and get some food or some other non-Christmas related items. Walmart is always open on Christmas so I rarely have any issues if I need to buy something.
