Happy Boxing Day

Today my Loyal Readers from England, Canada, and other Commonwealth Countries celebrate Boxing Day. And you know what that means, great Boxing Week sales all week long! And while not traditionally recognized in America, Boxing Day, or St. Stephen's Day, dates back to the days of the serfs. Tradition has it that gifts among equals were given out before Christmas, but those workers of the lower classes were given their gifts by their Feudal Lords the day after Christmas.

Often times the peasants and serfs would bring boxes to the Castle to carry home their earnings in, hence the name. So for those Loyal Readers who get to celebrate this wonderful Christmas Season with one more paid stat day off, Happy Boxing Day!
