Merry Christmas...and Happy Boxing Day!

Yes, it's the day after Christmas when you are reading this (or even later if you aren't the type to read every day...shame on you!), but since we don't publish on Sundays, we're celebrating today. Keith and I would both like to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoyed some time with family and loved ones.

What today actually is is Boxing Day (in the U.K., Canada, and Australia...at least according to my calendar). I had heard of Boxing Day for decades but never bothered to look into it. This year I decided to reach out to a Canadian friend, Perdomo's National Director of Sales, Chris Harper. This is what he had to say about Boxing Day:

In Canada, Boxing Day is...our Black Friday. I know it doesn't make sense but that is when everyone goes hunting for deals. They say that the day came from England. The rich boxed up the leftovers from the big Christmas dinner and gave it to the servants. Hence, Boxing Day! 

You heard the man...go box up some leftovers for your servants! :)
