Merry Christmas?

Today is Boxing Day!!! That's right, Boxing Day.  It's not normally observed in the USA but around the world it is very popular on the day after Christmas to celebrate Boxing Day.  The only reason I know this is because I used to live in Canada and my brother's birthday is today.

So...how was your Christmas?  Did you get what you wanted?  To you give some good gifts?  Did you remember the REAL reason that we celebrate Christmas?  

Hope you all had a great day!

And don't forget, 5 days until the New Year's Eve Lock-In!
