The tradition of Boxing Day was originally intended to give servants the day off, tradesmen were given tips, and castoffs and money were given to the poor. It's celebrated in a few countries, including our friends in Canada.
I was just mulling that this year, during Covid Christmas, it's perhaps a good idea for us to try to celebrate Boxing Day as well. Not anything complicated: just be kind, be generous, be thoughtful.
We're almost through this gawdawful year. We can do it.
