Alternative Milestones presents:

Alternative Milestones Episode 48 – Happy Boxing Day!

 

For those who celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, I hope yesterday was a special day full of giving, receiving, friends and family.

Boxing Day is a tradition in British Commonwealth countries (and others) on the day after Christmas.  Its origin and purpose have been obscured a bit over time.  Here in the US, we take the boxing part literally and say it’s the day to return presents…  Massachusetts is the only state in the US to officially recognize it in any way.

As for today’s show – LOTS of birthdays!
