Apologies to southerners. I misrepresented Boxing Day. Apparently, the term BD meant that Dec 26 was when the churches opened the Alms Box and distributed the money and food and treats to the poor. CityPulse TV did a little blurb on the meaning of BD.
Well, most Canadians who went shopping yesterday were classified as the walking poor after their shopping spree.
BTW - to the best of my knowledge, the churches really don't do BD , the traditional way. However, I've been told most churches need to keep some food stuffs on hand b/c people still come to churches for food.

Well, we never claimed to be totally correct. heck, we never claimed to be partly correct. Remember that the bulk of what you read comes from the newspaper, radio or TV. ( notice that its ' we ' when something is wrong.

Again, I want to laud the movie " Salmon Fishing in the Yemen ". I re-watched  ' SFitY' and it is a fine movie. Good character development and the plot provides a much needed view of the Middle East. A view that is progressive at least a little, and features a sheik trying to adopt and adapt to Western culture. The sheik is sort of dragging the Yemenis ' kicking and screaming ( and shooting ) ' into modern world. OK  OK Emily Blunt is in it. I'm hooked but not just b/c of EB.
