Boxing Day.

 

Tomorrow is Boxing Day. Not to be confused with that special Chinese day, Bok Sing Dai.

When Jesus was born, on December 25th., those close to him who were contemplating writing a Bible decided that they needed more time to plan and prepare their literary idea. It didn't help that just about all of them were illiterate and couldn't even write their own name. Even the apostle Paul often signed his name with an 'x'. Years passed with no real solution. Then, years later, they decided to consult Catholic priests who had been set up a little while earlier. They knew that Jesus was now old enough and asked him to talk to the priests. Jesus talked to the Pope, the boss of all priests.

Jesus didn't come out on their side.

 So, there they were, stuck for a name of the day directly after Christmas Day. It had become a bit of a thing to give friends and family presents on, or near, Christmas Day. In those days presents generally came in boxes. So, what would people probably be doing on the 26th.? 

Opening boxes!

So, there you have it! Boxing Day.

Ciao.
