In many countries, the day after Christmas is Boxing Day.  As a child, I was perplexed why we would have a day to relish the sport of boxing. And yet it was never prevalent.  

It was only many years later that I uncovered the true meaning of Boxing Day.  It was a day when the wealthy, who had staff working for them, would firstly give their workers the day off to celebrate with their families, and they would also box up gifts and go and deliver it to those in need.

For those of us who were fortunate to enjoy Christmas with our friends and families and unwrapped gifts, possibly today, we may dedicate it to others. Consider those less fortunate and ponder how we may light up their lives and bring them simple cheer and a sharing of kindness. It need not be noteworthy. A simple act filled with compassion will go a long way for others and you too.
