Boxing Day

[AkJay]

Today in Canada, they celebrate Boxing Day, which is almost like Black Friday (The day after Thanksgiving where everyone goes to stores to buy Christmas gifts) here in the USA. Boxing Day is the day after Christmas where everyone goes to return the crappy gifts they got on Christmas day.

tl;dr - What gift do you want to return that you received for Christmas?
I would return a lazer pointer my uncle got me, seeing as the batteries died and it broke the first day after use.

Here in Ireland, it's called St. Stephen's day. It also has something to do with wrens (a type of bird, known as the king of all birds), and there's a tradition where "Wren boys" go around door to door reciting an old rhyme for money or something. They don't really do it much anymore.

Here it's called Day of Good Hope... No wait, that's Cape of Good Hope. Anyway it was called Boxing Day until a few years ago, and it's basically "nurse your hangover day"

Here in the North East of England we call Boxing day, "another day to get shitfaced". I liked all my presents, i didnt get many but its the thought!

We have dumb teenagers singing carrols and begging for money. They usually sing terribly and I once met a group that didn't even bother to learn more than 2 verses...

I'd get rid of the toilet bag (a travel bag for toiletries) my mother got me, because its hideous and I don't need or want it.

I'd get rid of the Mr. Men book.

Yes, I got a Mr. Men book.

I'm 17.

Although it did come with a mug that's best described as a vat with a handle.

I'm sorry.. But your avatar looks totally awesome.

OT: I don't think we have a 'day' here at the Faroe Islands... I, at least, haven't noticed any traditional activities.

Addendum; Forgot to answer 'em opening post's question. I don't think I want to return any of my gifts, as none of them would be worth the effort nor value.
