A couple of days late for boxing day... *g* I'm actually not sure what it celebrates anyway. all I do is go shopping on that day! Lots of shiny boxing day sales.

Happy new year!

Snopes has a pretty good explanation of Boxing Day and its possible origin. The origin is disputed, of course, which makes it fun. *g*

I'd always seen it as a left-over of the UK aristocracy or landed gentry presenting gifts to their staff and serfs etc on the day after Christmas.

oops, forgot to leave the link! http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/boxingday.asp

That's really interesting! I'd forgotten how much I love that site. :)

On an OT note: Eee. Primeval bunnies are munching on my brain. *g* I've already got about 2000 words on my Big Bang.

Yay! *sneaks lettuce to the plot bunnies* I joined the Big Bang comm this afternoon. Fred and I already have a story in mind, that we've been wanting to write for a while, so I don't think we'll be short on words. *veg*
