So... boxing day.

A day for fighters or a day devoted to the cardboard torn apart during Christmas? I don't get it. A friend told me its like the day after Thanksgiving for us in the States o' Amurika with crazy sales and stuff. I don't get why that's a holiday unless I'm missing something...

Anyway, to all your crazy Canadians, have a good whatever it is!

My mom tells me that Boxing Day earnt it's name because people used to open the presents on the 26th of December in the UK not the 25th and it became known as "boxing day" because there would be plenty of boxes

It's called Boxing day because servants had to work on Christmas day, and so the day after was when their masters gave them presents.

Happy Boxing Day. I've already done a bit of shopping, but the best deals are a few days after Boxing Day. :)

I thought it was a day to get huge gloves and punch someone in the nose. I must celebrate that!

...Canadians?

They live in a small semi-communist colony above the US.
