Boxing Day was created by 87 Shark
:eek:The US has black Friday, we have Boxing day. Busiest shoping day of the year with gift exchanges returns and year end specials. A great day to stay home and watch football (my Cowboys screwed the pootch again).
Have a great day all and hope Santa was good to you.(I saw Brads post card And Santa would prefer a 928 just for the shear comfort of the driveIMHO)

I may stay at home today Dave, I am not a shopping crowd kind of guy.
Ya if I would have made the card it would have been with a 928, but just found it on the web.

Someone mentioned "boxing day" at church today, but I had not heard that phrase before. Glad you explained it.

IIRC boxing day originated as a Brit holiday as there were no sports played on Christmas day so they day after was designated to provide relieve from all the 'celebrations'.

Living in Alberta all my life, I have always just thought of it as the day after x-mas when everything is on sale to make space for new stuff.

This is a CDN British thing. An actual stat holiday here and almost no one in the states has heard of it.
