St Stephens (Boxing) Day

Most of the people I know that might read this probably know this already, but Boxing Day is also known as St Stephens Day.

What I didn't realise is that the reason it is there is meant to be a comparison between the birth of Jesus and the cost of following on from that (Stephen was er - um - stoned to death I think).

I will certainly remember this on Boxing Day about what the cost of the Christmas story truly entails.
