Boxing Day

Happy Boxing Day! “Boxing Day?”  I hear you say.

That’s right. From Wikipedia:

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide (26 December). Though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor, today Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday. It originated in Great Britain and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire.

Why Boxing Day? Nothing to do with pugilism.
Boxing Day - shop until you drop.
Boxing Day – actually more to do with shopping. Go figure.

 

 

In fact, the “12 Days of Christmas” are the 12 days AFTER Dec. 25th, at least for those of us who follow the Anglican tradition. Shakespeare’s “12th Night?” That’s the feast of the Epiphany on Jan. 6th. See below for all the feline details.
