    there is no boxing day in the US, but a lot of people took the day off. I'm at work and there's maybe 1/3 of the usual people here.

    Entire week of Christmas to New Year is a holiday for some companies.
    I prefer it that way rather than all of the little holidays which do not mean anything.

    Every day is a holiday when you're an American.

    Long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be.

    BTW it is a big holiday in Hong Kong as well. I think it is one of those British things we declared independence of.
