Jeff greeted me this morning with Happy Boxing Day; I responded with Happy Kwanzaa.
I don't know much about either holiday.
CNN offered this article on Kwanzaa. The seven principles in English are focused on community:
Unity, Self Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith.
According to Wikipedia, Boxing Day originated as a day to give gifts to the poor, but is now known as a shopping holiday. I remember seeing an episode of M*A*S*H when officers and enlisted men switched roles on Boxing Day. Wikipedia also mentions Christmastide which led me to Saint Stephen's Day which is also today.
Quite the day.
