lol
you dont know what they are talking about, imagine me! I'm here wondering what Boxing Day is, because I've read that name on a calendar that we have here. It's an australian calendar, by the way.
So, what are Guy Fawkes Night and Boxing Day about?????

I really dont know any of these things!

lol, I'm Australian and I don't even know what Boxing Day is about and after reading the Wiki article on it, I don't think I can really sum it up, so link!: Boxing Day

Well, when I was in the Bahamas for Christmas, I asked a guy what is Boxing day. And basically, he summed it up by saying, "Well, we believe that we needed another day to party and recover from the hangovers/partying, so we celebrate Boxing Day."

The US doesn't have many holidays, so I think we should totally celebrate Boxing Day.

That is an accurate description of Boxing Day in Scotland and mostly likely the rest of the Commonwealth.

I'm glad to see he was right.

lol
now i understand what Boxing Day is. XD thanks
I think we have too many holidays here, so i dont think we need one more. XD

I remember when i was looking at that calendar here and we were reading what kind of holidays our birthdays were on Australia. And his birthday is on Boxing Day.
We didn't know what it was about, so he said it was a Box Day! And that we should gather all boxes as we could and party! XDD

Protestant and Catholics.

Not about totalitarian rule and super heroes. And a massive excuse to use excessive amounts of fireworks.

If you ever come to the UK, I will give you a fuller explanation, that I simply can not be arsed doing on AA.

Though if that isnt enough you probably shouldnt bother at all.

I hope that does not sound cynical. I meant it as kind as possible.

I suppose this is terribly unrelated to even the initial topic..

BUT ANYWAY, on new years eve I was working on the ambulance and we had to rescue a man who had been lost in the mountain. Extreme head trauma upon which we had him flown to westchester.


Terrible in a way, but such a relieving event!


How was everyone's holiday? Any holiday, it doesn't matter, so long as there was a celebration.

Wasn't it the Catholics wanted to destroy the Protestant rule of England by blowing up the House of Parliament where the current (Protestant) King James the I of England was (with his Parliament) but failed? lol.
