Over the weekend my homey Jay and I worked on some music. It was great. It felt really good to be a part of the creation process. I suppose you could say my main contribution was to be a "creative consultant", however I did provide some drum machine and keyboard skills. By some I mean nothing of great importance came from me. It was still fun.
I picture the music we make together as "Techno-Metal-Pop". I wonder if Jay would be willing to have another "side" project?
This is what I found out about this great holiday:
Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It falls on December 26th, which is also St. Stephen's Day.
St. Stephen was a little known saint who achieved eternal fame by being the first Christian to be martyred for his faith, and he met his death by stoning.
Boxing Day is so called because on this day it was the customary for tradesmen to collect their Christmas boxes or gifts in return for good service throughout the year. Also, it included giving money and other gifts to charitable institutions, and the needy.
The holiday may date from as early as the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is not known. It may have begun with the Lords and Ladies of England, who gave Christmas boxes/gifts to their servants on December 26, or maybe by priests, who opened the church's alms (charity boxes), and distributed the contents to the poor and needy.
Boxing Day may not be as much fun as Festivus but it's close. Weee!
