December 2016 - Boxing Days. Fotbollsfans vet vad det betyder - massor av fotbollsmatcher på mycket få dagar mellan jul og nyår. Ursprungligen var det en dag (26. eller 27. december) när tjänstefolket var fria från sina förpliktelser och i dag är det en ledig dag i många engelskspråkiga länder.
Liverpool - Stoke - slutresultat 4-1
Hälsningar från Erik.

Why is it called Boxing Day?
According to some Boxing Day can be traced back to the Victorian era when churches often displayed a box into which their parishioners put donations.
Also in Britain, on the day after Christmas Day, servants of the wealthy were given time off to visit their families because their services were required for the Christmas Day celebrations of their employers.
They were therefore allowed the following day for their own observance of the holiday and each servant would be handed a box to take home, containing gifts, bonuses and sometimes leftover food.

Her i Roskilde er det grønt og + grader.
Mvh. Erik.
