Today is Boxing Day, an official holiday in the UK. It was originally the day servants were given gifts and the day off by their employers after working throughout the holidays, including Christmas Day itself. These days, it seems, at least in England, the day is spent watching soccer matches. I myself had to lay off all my servants at my mansion on the French Riveria during the pandemic. And so, instead of giving out gifts, I spend the day looking for half price calendars at the local mall. And some of them are indeed in boxes. So there. An appropriate Boxing Day activity.
