Hi all, and Merry Christmas! It's a (british racing?) green Christmas in
California, and all is right with the world. Just had a discussion of
Boxing Day with a friend, because I go to an annual brunch on that very
day. My understanding of the tradition is that it's from England, where
you gave the "Help" their boxes (gifts) on December 26. That's my
contribution to this thread!!! Nina
