Traditionally it was the servants day off. They'd wait on their masters over Christmas. On the 26th they'd get a day off to visit their families and a box of gifts and leftover food from their employer.
Now it's like black Friday. Just an excuse to spend a bit less money on shit you don't need.

We actually call it BoxyWoxy Dandy Day and we all paint pictures of the queen and mourn Diana.

It's got to suck for fat pests in England to not have Thanksgiving. Best holiday ever if you love to eat!

Their food is shit anyway.

You don't like stuff boiled until all flavor leaves it?

Christmas is gifts plus Thanksgiving meal. Its like super Thanksgiving. We need two days for it. Way better.

I genuinely always assumed it was because we got rid of all our empty cardboard boxes.
This place is so educational.

Because they are honorary kikes ever since that faggot Churchill turned half of Europe into the Soviet Union.

Another public holiday after Christmas. How faggy.
1 SickleSellout 2017-12-26
Yeah days off are really gay.

Dunno.. we “celebrated” it growing up - having an English grandmother and living so close to Canada... I never understood it.

Weren't there some Premier League games today?
1 WankingDuck 2017-12-26
Why yes, yes there were. That Harry Kane lad scores more frequently than Artie Lang.
1 SirWallaceII 2017-12-26
They should try not being a complete faggot for one day and leave boxing to the coloreds.
