This Day Of Boxing | |
|

Welcome to Boxing Day.
I know... if you grew up in 'Los Estados Unidos' or pretty much any non-commonwealth country, you have no feckin' idea wot the hell I'll be shortly going on about. You see from Bridgetown to Birmingham and from Calgary to Canberra... today, December 26th is a public holiday in many places around the world. It is Boxing Day. No need to be a pugilist to enjoy the day off, it turns out the tradition was more about domestic servants getting the day after Christmas off than men beating each other to a pulp. In England today, there are big soccer matches being played. Back on the island, today is a big beach day, and there'll be horse races to bet on for sure. Most importantly, it's a day off... and I feel a much needed one... to recover from all the pre-Christmas angst. I know a lot of people aren't going to work anyway today in the 'States. I actually have the day off. But for those of you who have to go back to the grind so soon, know that you are in my thoughts as I watch footie, drink shandy, and finish of that Christmas ham in an assortment of cheesey, triple-decker sandwiches. Happy Boxing Day! |
