“Happy Boxing Day, eh...“

Thanks, Cletus! I’ve been wrestling with how to celebrate it this year.

Lol! You’ve got all the lingo down perfectly. There isn’t a definitive origin for “Boxing Day”, but most of us think that it came from the idea back in the “old country” that it was a day to prepare boxes of alms for the poor. In today’s terms, the most cynical might call it “regifting day” where you get rid of unwanted or unneeded items and all your leftovers. I hate it because I have to pay every member of my staff an extra day of pay for no particular reason except that I employ them (*sigh*). March 17, 2025, and that’s over for good.
