Mine is so disappointed this year...lol... he decided to order one from a Monastery recommended to him, instead of his favorite Monastery, and it hasn't arrived yet. :)

Sorry to hear that but he is sure to have it for New Years Eve.
My brother from Rockford sent me a sock monkey (apparently Rockford Ill, is the home of sock monkeys) they have not arrived yet but it will be fun to get someone after christmas. Maybe even get it on Boxing Day. Which reminds me I have to leave a gift in the mailbox for our mailman.

LOL, okay. I think you will enjoy A Christmas Story, Gene Shephard is the narrator, and the story is based on one of his storys.
He use to be a talk radio host on WOR in NY. He was a great storyteller.

Boxing Day? --- IIRC, that's tomorrow and it was instituted as a means of allaying the dispute over the correct day to celebrate Christmas?

I always understood the tradition to be one of giving gifts to those who serve you in some way, like the mailman and such as that.
From watching Uptairs Downstair, Boxing Day was set aside for the staff to celebrate, because their services were needed on Christmas Day.

Can you help us out with what Boxing Day is all about. I think it is also St Stephans Day, something about a dead wren in box.

I thought they were only five hours ahead, but that would still make it past midnight over there.

I always get confused on the daylight savings time deal. I think you are correct.

We have 2 days off at Christmas - Christmas Day and Boxing Day there are many different interpretations of what Boxing day actually means.
I like the one that traditions says that the Lord of the Manor etc boxed up his goodies from Christmas and distributed them to the poor the next day.
The following is a link which explains it more
