Madame President:
Your Monday
morning briefing...If you live in the UK or British Commonwealth countries,
today is a holiday called Boxing Day. I lived through ten of those holidays in
Australia and South Africa. I never quite understood what the holiday was all
about. I decided to go in-depth on this matter. One version says that this
day was a day when households gave envelopes with cash and small gifts to
domestic employees and other employees in the household. Another version said that gifts were given
around Christmas Day to close family members. On Boxing Day, gifts were given
to friends and workmates.
Enjoy your day off today. If you live in
a British-tradition country, you have another holiday coming tomorrow.
Be careful out there!
Stay "Far from the madding crowd."
Amo-a,
-JackW
