1. From the founder’s desk

FROM THE FOUNDER’S DESK“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all

wrapped up ineach other.”Burton Hillis

Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, it is easy to forget how important family is in our lives and to take for granted all the wonderful things that having a family can bring to our lives. Christmas is meant to celebrate the love we have for the people in our lives and to share some special holiday moments with them.

For better or for worse, families are linked together forever. No matter how far away we move from each other or how often we see each other throughout the year, our family ties are ones that bind us together into one complete unit. Our family connections are ones that will last a lifetime. The thing that makes families special and unique is the history we share. This unique history which goes back thousands of years and connects us all together is special and unique to our family alone.

Of course, the most important thing about family during Christmas is the love we share throughout the year. The whole meaning of Christmas is to share and express our love for each other and say the things we may not get around to saying the rest of the year. Oftentimes, we take for granted the fact that our loved ones know how important they are to us and how much they mean in our lives.

So remember to take the time to express your love for your family members in some small way this holiday season. While these acts may seem insignificant at the time, they are the things we will hold dear to our hearts for a lifetime.

Contrary to what the name suggests, Boxing Day is not in any way related to the celebration of a certain violent sport. In fact, it is not even related to the celebration of any sports. The celebration of Boxing Day is very humble indeed. It is accepted that the day is celebrated to remember and help the less fortunate, through the act of giving gifts. Boxing Day is most commonly celebrated in all those countries, which belong to the Commonwealth of Nations, with a large Christian population. It takes place on December 26, the day after Christmas.England and Scotland traditionally host football and rugby matches on Boxing Day. In the sporting calendar, it is considered as a very significant event. On Boxing Day, the second most prestigious horse-racing event is held. In Australia, the Boxing Day test starts on the day after Christmas. It also hosts the Sydney to Hobart yacht race on this day. Canada hosts an ice hockey tourna-ment starting on Boxing Day. Sporting events are held because, traditionally, Boxing Day was also spent as a day for hunting.
