IS the day everyone beats each other with the gifts they didn't want and all kinds of mud slingling ensues. Do you have this day where you are or is it just a British thing?

Boxing Day (December 26) is here in Canada too.


I never go to the after Christmas day sales. It's crazier than last minute Christmas shopping. Some merchants take 70% off their merchandise.

And by "merchandise" she means the junk that no one was willing to buy anyone else for christmas.

I went today, I was practically torn to shreds, Im going back tommorow to find my shoes.

I'm going to celebrate by going to the Rocky movie today.



Well, not really, but if today was a Friday and I wasn't feeling like crap due to the latest cold, I would.

It's a Brit thing, i guess. Here it's simply "tweede kerstdag".
(Second christmas day)

Where does the 'boxing' part come from anyway?

We have after Xmas sales and such but we don't give it a specific name.

I'm at work today anyway.

Today is Tuesday though, you should have posted this on Friday

Is that the day everybody goes and sees Rocky 6?

this is the day when we are allowed to punch people we dislike, right?

All the Serfs would gather their Manors and hide in boxes or something, (according to the above link)

XxAxX said:

LleeLlee said:

i like xxaxx's idea better

LleeLlee said:

Can I change Boxing Day to Friday then?

XxAxX said:

happy boxing day!

TMPletz said:

You would have to go way back to B.C, then re-arrange the calendar to line up with A,D. It might take some doing, but I think you can do it.

XxAxX said:

Oh yeah, he posted his picture and he's all hot etc.
All this time he's been hiding his light under a bushel.
