Boxing Day: A Time for Charity

Did you know that Boxing Day was originally a day for giving? I had know idea. Here's a wonderful explanation of the history of Boxing Day via the NY Times.

At the risk of sounding like an unabashed consumer — I'm a big fan of the shopping deals one can get during Boxing Day. That being said, I have to agree with the authour: Let's get back to the roots of Boxing Day and give to those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Give money, give gifts, give your time, your assistance. It doesn't matter really, just be charitable. That's want Boxing Day is for.
