Happy Boxing Day!
This geocache was placed and submitted on Boxing Day. What is Boxing Day? It is a holiday that is not well known in the United States. Canadians ~ Is the day better know in your part of North America?
As a kid my folks told me that Boxing Day was a day off for servents in Great Britain, who had to work on Christmas Day, to spend time with their families and celebrate Christmas. A quick on-line search came up with stories about Boxes for collecting alms for the poor, sailing ships putting money in a lock box that was given to a priest once a year for luck and a ‘Christmas Box’ in Britain is a name for a Christmas present.
Where ever the tradition means and however it came into being; this is the first in a series of caches placed on some lesser known holidays. At least, not well known around here.
Happy Boxing Day! And remember, no jabs, crosses, hooks or uppercuts.
