Do you celebrate some holiday like Thanksgiving, perhaps you even call it that too, I dunno?

--- Quote ---Boxing Day is the Day after Christmas day (December 26th). All the stores are opened for BARGAINS, BARGAINS. Its actually originated in England in the middle of the nineteenth century under Queen Victoria. It originated as a holiday for members of the merchant class to give boxes containing food and fruit, clothing, and/or money to trades people and servants. The gifts were an expression of gratitude similar to the bonuses many employers offer their employees today. These gifts, usually given in boxes, gave the holiday it's name, "Boxing Day".

Hey, thanks! That's SO far from how it's been explained to me thus far!
Oh, and as for the Canada's cold, eh - I'm from WI, I get that all the time....I'm treated as if I live in Canada anyway. The turkeys don't freeze until mid January here ;D

For three people my mom decided to cook a 15lb turkey. Needless to say, my fridge is crammed with leftovers from that. Also had stuffing, mashed potatos/gravy, a parmasean broccoli casserole, and tons of veggies. To top it off, Pumpkin Pie. The rest of the day was spent watching tv (8 season of "Friends" thanksgiving episodes are always a pleasure to watch).
