Today is Boxing Day!

For those who don't know what this holiday is, I copied a description off the internet. I had never heard of it before moving to Canada!

In Australia and Canada, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, and a time where stores have sales, often with dramatic price decreases. For many merchants, it has become the day of the year with the greatest revenue. In recent years, this has been expanded to "Boxing Week". While Boxing Day is actually on 26 December, many retailers who hold Boxing Day Sales will run the sales for several days before or after 26 December, often up to New Year's Eve.
In some areas of Canada, particularly in Atlantic Canada and parts of Northern Ontario, most retailers are prohibited by law from opening on Boxing Day. In these cases, any sales specifically scheduled for December 26 are moved to the 27th.

We going to Canadian Tire to see what sales we can find.

I didn't take any pictures yesterday, we had a nice quiet day. Bruce called Rob in the morning, he was heading out the door on his way to work. Rick called later, his kids were excited about Christmas and their presents. We enjoyed a small breakfast in the morning, shrimp cocktail as an early afternoon appetizer, and for dinner - prime rib with roasted potatoes. Of course later on, we indulged in cherry pie and lemon sponge pie. We do have leftovers which we'll be working on today.

In the evening, we watched a movie - Batman: The Dark Knight. Bruce was disappointed in the movie - since Batman only comes out at night, a lot of the film was in the dark - hard to see what was happening. Between the two of us we gave it a '6.' Movie was almost three hours long. Never did get to watch the chick flick.
