Good morning world.
Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
This is called "Boxing Day".
I'm pretty sure, this would be the day that you gather up all the boxes that you would have got your Christmas Presents in, and put them in the trash.
At least that is my theory.
I'm going to check with Google.
Turns out, I wasn't even close.
Why is today called Boxing Day?
The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants - a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.
Both Tonya and the Big Guy have to work today.
They both suspect that a lot of people are going to be looking to return their Christmas presents.
This is also when people will go to the stores and try to do returns, without gift receipts.
This is also when the retailers will have "boxing day sales".
The Big Guy got some money for Christmas.
He was trying to see what he could purchase.
He rather hordes his money till he can get something on sale.
I wonder what he is going to get with his money?
