Today’s Weird Holiday - It’s Boxing Day - December 26th
At home, that means it’s the day to hit the mall for all the specials. You have been cooped up one whole day, so it’s time to go and buy everything that you didn’t get for Christmas! And usually, the prices are absolutely amazing!
“The roots of the holiday goes back to the Middle Ages . On this day, members of the merchant class would take boxes, fill them with food and fruits, and give them to servants, tradespeople and the less fortunate. In the case of servants, they would work on Christmas Day, so it was only fitting that immediately after Christmas, they would be given a day off to celebrate. Usually celebrated the day after Christmas, some would celebrate the following Monday when Christmas fell on a Friday or Saturday.”
