In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel

Chrissyreadit One of my favorite songs! 5y
MaGoose I think Boxing Day originated in the UK as a day off for the servants, who received presents (or "boxes" in UK slang, I think. My father came from Scotland, but I'm in the US, so I'm not entirely sure of the slang). 5y
TrishB @MaGoose you‘re spot on 👍🏻 5y
Blueroseis Carol Hedges, the author of several Victorian detective novels tweeted this morning that for her boxing day is when cats sleep in their new boxes. The ones left over from Christmas day. She also added a photo of her cat, aka the foreign secretary in one of her boxes. 5y

Happy #BoxingDay! The day after Christmas is just perfect for snuggling with a good book and a warm beverage! (We‘re going out to lunch with friends.)

BookOutlet is having a huge sale! I may have went a little overboard, but it was too good not too. 😁

AThousandLives87 What exactly is Boxing Day? (Says the American...lol) 7y
Kristy_K @AThousandLives87 It's a Canadian holiday I think, but I'm not sure what it's about. (Also American here lol). 7y
BekahB I started out saying I wouldn't buy any books. Then I said I'd just buy enough to get $10 off. Let's just say that I ended up going overboard too. 😂 7y
Kristy_K @BekahB It's so hard not to! 7y
