Original Toronto Star caption: Christmas Cards at half price were selling well today in Simpsons and other stores; holding their last Boxing Day sales. A law that takes effect Jan. 1 requires large retail stores to be closed on Sundays and eight listed holidays. Thousands of shoppers were out; despite the snow; for the traditional mark-downs.
