The day after Christmas, the day when people go crazy at shops all over the world! The day that people spend time with their families. The day named Boxing Day.
Have you ever wondered why the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day? I mean seriously, what's boxing got to do with Christmas, absolutely NOTHING! But if you take the 'ing' away, you just have BOX Day. Now, what does a box have to do with Christmas? If you just said "Nothing", you're right!.. Standing on the right hand side of me that is, probably, maybe not, ok, scratch that. Back to the point, you'd be wrong if you said "Nothing". Think about it, what do we buy people at Christmas time? Gifts. We don't just go up to them and say "here" and give it to them looking exactly how it was when we bought it. Well some of you might. But traditionally, people wrap gifts. That way it's way more exciting!
So, what do we wrap gifts with? Wrapping paper or BOXES! I bet you got that one right huh?! :P
That's it, pretty simple when you think about it.
Happy Boxing Day everyone!

Well there's your first clue of who I am. Have you ever seen the movie 'The Nanny Diaries' starring Scarlett Johansson? No? Yes? Doesn't matter. The story is told by Johansson's character Annie, she refers to the parents who hired her as a nanny for their little boy, as Mr and Mrs X. Hayden, her love interest, played by Chris Evans, until the very end is referred to as Harvard Hottie. I think you get my drift. You can call me "B".
P.S. Don't even bother trying to guess my name, have you seen the size of those baby names books?!
