Boxing day.......Americans say HUH? What the heck is boxing day. Well, its a day that follows Xmas and if you did not get what you wanted from anyone you would box them ....box their ears! Serves them right, the ingrates! Why I oughta........
No , really...Boxing day was a day in Jolly ole England where the servants of the rich would be given the day after Xmas off in order to see their own families....because you see, they would be busy making Xmas day just perfect for the 'igh mucky mucks. The elite would 'box' up food and gifts for the servants to take back to their families on this day. It is also another day usurped by the Christians called St. Stephen day...Stephen was one of the groupies who ate with the big guy, he was also the same
guy who got stoned after Jesus died on the cross. ...see the stained glass window depicting this at the Winnipeg Church of the Shivering Jesus (just off Rue d'eglise in St. Boniface) can I get an amen....
I just got back from Blockbuster; I rented "Shaun of the Dead" and "Collateral"....should be good. we will have to wait until after Mom leaves to watch them though. Mom is still here tonight and we will watch "the Ladykillers" with Tom Hanks...she will like that. I think.
Well, anyhow it is a bright sunny day and so was Xmas Day. Don't mind if it is cold, as long as it is sunny.
Well, I checked my e-mail and checked the news...terrible eathquake and tsunamis in Asia (Sri Lanka and Thailand etal). 8.9 on the rectum scale causing a huge tsunami on unsuspecting people on Phuket beach, Thailand 30 feet high! Don't that make your ass twitch!
Anywho, better go for now. REMEMBER KEEP BLOGGING !!!
Two more sleeps for Gary and Carol before they journey southward. I wish we could get away like that but we couldn't leave my Mom for such a long time....well, Carol knows what I mean because she went through that with her father. Anyhow, we still got the cruise to look forward to in June!
PEACE .
