I know it's not a holiday like it is in Canada, but you don't refer to December 26th as Boxing day in the USA? I never knew that until this year.
It's written on our calendars like any other holiday...I knew it was a bigger deal here than in the USA, but I said something about Boxing Day on a different forum and everyone was like "What is that?"

When I was little, I asked my mom what "Boxing Day' was (I read it on the calendar) and mom was all "it's when you box things up and take them back to the stores." LOL
Mine too. A family friend had a Boxing Day get together last year though. It was awesome. Their kids (my age) were in town with their spouses, and while we haven't done a great job of keeping up since moving away, they are still dear to me. I think of them as cousins (except I like them better than my real cousins), and it was great to have a holiday together. I hope it is a tradition that sticks.
