Wet weather helps bring Boxing Day shoppers to townMARTIN DE RUYTER/STUFF Boxing Day in Nelson. Tills were ringing as wet weather drew people to Boxing Day sales across the Nelson region, however local retailers reported mixed returns over the Christmas period. "On Boxing Day it was obviously crazy busy, I think the rain helped bring everyone into the mall. The Warehouse Nelson manager Andrew Ackers said Boxing Day started off reasonably slowly building to thousands of people coming to look for the best deals by mid-morning. "We've already had emails on Christmas Day saying, 'I've got a voucher, can I order this book'."
