Today is Boxing Day here in the UK.
Its similar to America’s Black Friday in that the sales start. I have heard a few reasons why it got its name; one that workers kept a box, and any tips got put into it and on the day after Christmas they would break open the box and spend the money. The other is that it was the day servants would get they Christmas box present and sent home to have the day off with their family.
Here in the brown household we have about a dozen family members paying a visit and will have three dogs and a snake in the house today. It will be great to see then all again and its the last day of our holiday; we are back to work tomorrow for the remainder of the week.
