There are so many celebrations at Christmastide (also Christmas Time or Christmas Season):Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, St. Stephen’s Day, The Feast of the Holy Family, New Year’s Eve, and so on. So, don’t put away those holiday decorations yet since it goes through Jan. 13th! 😊

Today, December 26th, is Boxing Day (also called St. Stephen’s Day). You’ll probably feel tempted to hurry to your television to watch Floyd Mayweather battle Tenshin Nasukawa. But Boxing Day has nothing to do with boxing. As a matter of fact, this second day of Christmastide, practiced in Canada, England, Australia, and even Puerto Rico (called Aguinaldo), is considered a time to give gifts or a tip to tradesmen, servants, garbage men, mail carriers, and friends. Being from Puerto Rico I practice this tradition here in good ol’ Etna, Ohio. Why not? As a Catholic it’s all about showing compassion and as a yogi it’s all about Ahimsa or showing kindness to those who do so much for us. Do you do small tokens of compassion and kindness for these people during the holidays? If so, I would love to know what YOU do.
