Boxing Day?





Here's what Wikipedia has to say about




Boxing Day

*I've
always *thought
that it was* weird to
have *this day right at this time.
*A holiday focussed  specifically
on spending *money? In some places
a statutory holiday? What is *that about?
Why *do we have to focus on this just at this*
time? How did* sharing out of love become corrupted
*into giving* as a requirement, rather than a holiday of
*giving from one's own gifts to those we love, or those who* may
not have as much as we have. Our culture has *corruptued it. This is the
last Christmas *tree for me. No more. How is all *that buying and selling
related to the birth of the
Saviour?
Just
