Cool Boxing day

Let me be the first to wish all of our Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and British members a "Happy Boxing Day".
PS: Bob and Rick, I'm still waiting on my box. Maybe it is held up in the Christmas rush. anyway Happy Boxing Day.

Indeed, Happy Boxing Day. Luckly I didn't go out shopping, I probably would've been returned home in 1x10^3462 pieces.

Boxing day is insane! Too many crazy shoppers.

I guess "Boxing Day" got its name from those up North "boxing up" useless things they got for Christmas and taking them back for exchange? <grin>

Actually, its that idea, except switched around a bit. On boxing day, the stores box up the old year products and sell them at discounted prices ( ~50% off ). Also, on boxing day no exchanges or returns can happen, only purchases.

Thanks for explaining that Mark. I was trying to figure out what "Boxing Day" was. At first I thought it had something to do with the sport.
