Happy Boxing Day

Yesterday was un-boxing day, today Boxing Day.

Yesterday was un-boxing day, today Boxing Day.

I have a Canadian friend who explained Dec. 26, Boxing Day, to me. It’s the day after Christmas where Canadians “box up” their holiday decorations, an extra day off work to enjoy. I guess Americans enjoy this holiday, too, by exchanging what they didn’t want for what they did. So, in that case, Wendy and I have a deal for you! We have three online deals, originally intended for Christmas, but we’re keeping them open through the New Year for you. Frankly, I don’t think we’ve ever offered better deals. I list them here with the hopes that you get these resources. We write and provide them so that you may be enriched by them, and they’re more affordable now more than ever.

When people understand that Wendy and I are about MORE than just family (we’re all about love, the Greatest Commandment), they want everything we have to offer. This is where our Jeub Family Package comes in, a $100 value for only $50. The resources include Love Another Child, Love in the House, Love in the Kitchen Vols. 1 & 2, and Love in a Diet.

We love Ken Davis, and his book has had a profound affect on our family. I managed a deal with them for a box full of DVDs to sell along with his book, and we’re throwing in Wendy’s Love in a Diet along with it. Total value: $14.95 + $19.95 DVD + $14.95 Book = $50 value for only $14.95! This is a steal, folks. Get it, even if you already have one of the books. They’re worth blessing someone with!

Okay, this is for the fellow debate nerds out there, those competing in the homeschool leagues. I have the team-policy briefs sent out already, and I know for certain there are big tournaments going on next week that these debaters will want to be prepared for. Buy the briefs outright here. If you don’t own the original books, you’ll have the option to get them for the summer-deal price, about a 35% savings. It’s a great deal. Enjoy Boxing Day, friends. And happy New Year!

    I think you misunderstood your friend. I am sure you do not want to miss inform folks by posting incorrect info.

    Despite its name, Boxing Day, which is celebrated on December 26 in Great Britain, has nothing to do with pugilistic competition. Nor is it a day for people to return unwanted Christmas presents. While the exact origins of the holiday are obscure, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages.

    Some historians say the holiday developed because servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with gift boxes.

    Church Alms Boxes

    Another theory is that the boxes placed in churches where parishioners deposited coins for the poor were opened and the contents distributed on December 26, which is also the Feast of St. Stephen.

    As time went by, Boxing Day gift giving expanded to include those who had rendered a service during the previous year. This tradition survives today as people give presents to tradesmen, mail carriers, doormen, porters, and others who have helped them.

    The Day after Christmas

    Boxing Day is December 26, the day after Christmas, and is celebrated in Great Britain and in most areas settled by the English (the U.S. is the major exception), including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
