Subject: Boxing Day: Stories of doing good From: Guy Wolff Date: 26 Dec 10 - 09:20 AM HAPPY BOXING DAY ! I looked up what threads were here on the origins of Boxing day in Briton to inspire all us across the pond on this day but I am really curious of how the goodness of boxing day manifests itself today in Briton .. Does anyone have stories showing the true meaning of the day to inform & inspire us all . Happy Boxing day from New England . Of all years this is a time to help those not as furtuneate as oneself .. Sorry not meaning to sound preachy. Im just hoping there are some wonderful stories out there that would be great to hear at such a time as this is . All the best to old and new friends here to Old Briton from New England . . Guy |

Subject: RE: Boxing Day: Stories of doing good From: Raggytash Date: 26 Dec 16 - 03:02 AM Today in Whitby, North Yorkshire hundreds of people (including my sons partner and her son) will partake in the Boxing Day Dip which entails running into the VERY COLD North Sea watched by thousands. Organised by the Whitby Lions the event raises thousands of pounds for various charities and is a wonderful annual event. My good lady has done it three times, I've done it twice and it is VERY COLD !!!! Boxing Day Dip, Whitby |
