Of course, it's also a GREAT chance to make friends, reinforce local connections, & work to generally BUILD STRONGER, healthier community ties, etc. Potential EMPLOYMENT opportunities are also VERY much in the cards!
QUOTE: There are a couple of theories about the day's origins. Both revolve around charity bestowed upon the less fortunate by England's upper classes. One posits that employers distributed "Christmas boxes" full of gifts, money, and leftovers from their holiday feasts to their servants on December 26, as the servants would have worked on Christmas Day. The boxes were the 1800s' version of holiday bonuses. The other observes that December 26 is the Feast of St. Stephen, known for his acts of charity. Clergy would distribute the contents of alms boxes collected via #donations from parishioners for the poor on #December 26 in his honor.
