I don't know why its called "Boxing Day," I will have to look it up. I suppose it doesn't matter, we're not British, but these bits and snatches of arcane information float around in my brain, taking up space, just waiting to be shared. So Happy Boxing Day, whatever it means!
Another cold, clear day with lots of sunshine. How happy I am to be here to enjoy it.
Cousin Jean is coming for a one-day visit. Always a good time. Mom and I will do some errands this morning (laundry always looms), we will take a walk in the afternoon with the dogs, and plan for a rousing Scrabble game tonight.
Quiet day, peaceful day. A little work, a little physical exercise, a little fun.

OK - you asked for it. Boxing Day dates back to the Medieval Ages. It has several folk etymologies, one being that it was a time for people to give presents or Christmas "boxes" or a box of goods to employees that had worked for them throughout the year.
Scrabble - that sounds like fun, however, I don't know if I could keep up with you and your Mother without my handy, dandy dictionary - most days it is an extension to my arm.
Happy Boxing Day to one and all!!!
Gee, I thought Boxing Day was a reference to day-after-Christmas too much family togetherness and it makes you want to start punching people. Ha ha!
