What is Boxing Day? I mean, what is it celebrating and all that? I've seen in on the calendar for years, but I have no idea what the holiday is about.

Putting stuff in boxes? XD no lol.XD
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Boxing day is the day after Christmas, and from what I know, everything goes on sale. (or so I've been told)

Right here! I am Canadian! *Points to sig*

I had to work that day... That sucked so bad. We had one guy not show up and another leave for his break never to return from his break.

But, as far as I call boxing day, it is shopping hell. On top of that, the mall where I work decided Boxing Week would be much better! Right up until New Years Eve they decided to have it continue. Well, at least I'm off until Wednesday, so that's all good.


Also, when I was younger I thought boxing day had to do something with cardboard boxes... >.>
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

I keep imagining everyone wearing boxing gloves and going at each other ROCKY style, lol. :p That's the first thing that popped into my head on hearing "boxing day". Actually, it sounds a lot like our after Christmas shopping sales day, etc. They are a headache for the most part, too.
