Boxing Day...

The picture above is from my temporary digs in Cairns. This is the box room come office. The computer is squashed in to the side. The box room leads off into a small bathroom that would be an ensuite if I was using the room for it’s intended purpose of being a bedroom but it’s become what I call the pool room. Only my togs (swimsuit) hang out in there.

So – Boxing Day in Australia – no it’s not about boxes that are waiting to be unpacked when I have a permanent home. It’s about this…

Boxing Day got its name from an old tradition when employers boxed gifts for their workers on the day after Christmas.

Or, in reality, it’s about the after xmas sales where people max out their credit cards and then whine for months afterwards about their bills. Humans…fascinating…
