Boxing Day

Boxing Day is held every December 26th in many countries associated with the British empire. It started as a day to give gifts to the household staff of Britain’s upper classes but has morphed into a sort of shopping holiday of its own. In fact, its one of the most popular days to return Christmas gifts to the stores.

National Thank You Note Day

Think thank you notes don’t exist these days? Think again… December 26 is National Thank You Note Day. Put your phone down, dust off your stationary, and get to writing. There is no official known reason to as why this day was created, but we have a feeling it has to do with the many presents people may have received on December 25.
