Jan 1&2 are public holidays here. But this is because Xmas day & Boxing day fall on Saturday & Sunday. I could be wrong here, but I don't think the US recognises Boxing Day(the 26th Dec.) By golly, we do! We are up for all possible paid days off!

Boxing Day???? I never heard of it. Jan 1 is New Years Day.

Boxing Day is the day when historically the wealthy would give to their servants the boxes that Xmas pressies were sent in. Way back when, these boxes were (a) highly prized &(b)quite decorative. The servants were apparently quite easily satisfied.

The servants were apparently quite easily satisfied. Some of them, if they survived must be quite valuable today. Quaint tradition. I still think babies should be given empty boxes for presents..they like them better than what comes inside of them. |

Or just give them last years ripped up Christmas paper in the boxes. Then they wouldn't be empty
|

Kids always seem to like empty boxes, particularly if they can climb itto them & call it a boat or castle

exactly...they can use their imaginations.

Of course, 60plus years later, there are those who call boxes home sadly

exactly...they can use their imaginations. So if you were to use your imagination, what would you use the empty box for?? |

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty except for the memory Of how they were answered by you words from one of my all time favorite songs |
