OT: Canadia Question

OK. I'm looking at my calendar and there it is.

Dec 26: Boxing Day (C).

So, the day after Christmas Canadians:

A) Get drunk and box each other.
B) Throw out all those Christmas boxes.
C) Celebrate the aniversary of the Boxer Rebellion.
D) All of the above.

If I recall my urban legend lore, way back when, it was supposed to be a day
where the servants and masters switched roles. Recently, its become the
equivalent of American "Black Friday"... a holiday for everyone except those
unfortunate enough to work in retail.

No, they sit there in their boxers all day, exhausted and stuffed from the
festivities the day before. Too lazy to actually get dressed.

Well, for your information, Mr. Smarty Canadian Pants, I
did look it up. But I found the answer to be less than
satisfying.

Besides, I never pass up an oppertunity to make fun
of Canadia.

I apologize, I shouldn't have snapped at you.

It's just that this time of year the pressure
really gets to me, you know, with Boxing Day
coming up and all.

laughing at the americans who all have to go back to work
