Title: BOXING DAY!!!
Post by: puniraptor on December 26, 2013, 10:56:58 PM
of course today was BOXING DAY, the world's only uniquely Canadian holiday!

Boxing day was invented to honor the garbage men that have to haul away all the boxes and wrappings residue left behind in the afterglow of American Santa's generosity.

I believe in the UK, banks are closed on this day.

Boxing is a sport where people punch the heads and bodies of their enemies while attempting to avoid punches themselves!

If anyone has any boxing day stories or canadian friends, this is a safe place to share! If not, join me in packing up my purple maple leaf until this time again next year!

4 bona-fide Canadians in the house today. They had to Google Boxing Day to see what it meant.
