Or is it Merry Boxing Day?
I have never got an straight answer out of all of the Canadians I have asked about this holiday. The three closest answers that I got were:
1. It is the day you box up all of the presents you received and do not like for return to the store or to be stored until next year and passed on to someone else.
2. We wanted an excuse to make Christmas a 2 day holiday.
3. It is the servant's day off. Are all Canadians and Aussies servants? Servants to who or what?
Oh well, I think I'll never figure this one out so "Happy or Merry Boxing Day".

Shoot, all this time I thought it was "Bach Sing Day". I've been running around humming Toccata and Fugue in D Minor all afternoon.

Well, I was really going for baroque.
