Yes, even though I’m an American, I do realize that this type of boxing is NOT what Boxing Day is all about.  (This guy is looking pretty fierce though, don’t you think?)

If wikipedia can be trusted there are quite a few theories on Boxing Day’s origins… (Check them out using the link above.)

I always thought it had something to do with how everyone had to deal with all the boxes left over from opening Christmas presents.  Shows you what I know.

The Johnson family’s Boxing Day has been pretty low key.  We’ve stayed close to home.  I got some reading done.  The girls have played with their new toys and watched some new Veggie Tales DVDs.

No sparring to report.  No carboard-sized papercuts either.  We’ll keep you posted if the situation changes…
