Now you have the answer...that is something we here at It's Noodle try to do, give you answers to all kinds of questions, be they important, weird or obscure.
We look forward to yet another year of bringing you the senseless and sensational as well as the poignant and important stories that are in the news and sometimes not in the news but should be.
Have a safe and happy weekend and Happy New Year!!!!!

In Canada. Boxing Day means shopping deals akin to your Black Friday. (We do both now, but traditionally it was just Boxing Day sales.) People line up in the wee hours of the morning, though generally there isn't the stampede-that-kills-people. Our human was tempted, because one of our canned foods is on sale half-price, but she just couldn't muster the motivation to brave the crowds.
ReplyDeleteBut happy Boxing Day anyway! :-)
I did spend time in several boxes today! Happy New Year Noodle!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this info. We think it would be great to have a second day for the holiday.

We think every day is boxing day when you're a cat. :)
ReplyDeleteLot people go out on so called "boxing day" to get cards and wrapping paper. I even send out an small order to company called "Current" for such things as wrapping paper, cards, and few little items.
