[COLOR="#FF0000"]Happy Boxing Day!!![/COLOR]
To answer any unasked questions:
-- Nope, I'm not Canadian;
-- Ummm, I've only been to Canada once; and
-- Other than living in the country south of it, I have no real connection to Canada (other than knowing some real cool people who live up there).
I've heard about Boxing Day, but I don't quite understand it.
I think it's another term for Thunderchicken's Birthday LOL :hick:
From what I understand, this started waaay back in the day with wealthy people who had servants. Since the servants would have to work on Christmas Day, they were given the day after Christmas off ---- and their employers would give them a gift in a BOX ---- hence Boxing Day.
I'm not sure if that story is true ---- but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I know a lady who lives in Canada...she's frigid.
She's also probably cold in the winter, too.
:hick:
From what I'm seeing on Accuweather (etc), then YES!!! Really, really cold people.
