Day after Christmas.  Celebrated in Canada, some of South America and in other places. 

Tradition has it that the "gentry" gave presents, in boxes, to their "staff" on the day after Christmas.  Inferred is that they were left over, unwanted presents.


Left over presents isn't something the current generation is familiar with.   My grand father always had a dozen or so generic presents wrapped but unmarked under the tree.  When unexpected guests dropped by to pay their respects he would give them a present.   What was left over typically went to the cook

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
