A Celebration of Boxing Day, A Holiday That I Completely Understand

in Holidays on 12/26/17 by Jamie W Leave a Comment

Another Christmas has come and gone, but before we embark on a new year we need to celebrate Boxing Day today! I only learned the details about what Boxing Day actually is semi-recently, since it’s not something we have here in America. There’s no punching and fighting, which is what I always thought it entailed as a kid. In reality it seems to be a much more tame a bank holiday, and is apparently a big shopping day now. I still can’t nail down exactly where the name comes from (anyone who lives in a country that celebrates Boxing Day please chime in), but according to 90 seconds of Googleing the theory is that is came from the practice of giving “Christmas boxes” to servants on the 26th. A very nice gesture, sure, but I think we can do better. Our favorite thing about the Commonwealth here at TN is the men, of course. I propose that a new Boxing Day take over, one where our favorite guys who recognize this day bring you a box of your very own. I’ve created some advertising to help sell my idea on this, and I think people will come around. Warning: flawlessly Photoshopped images ahead.

Tom Hiddleston helping you move

Tom is here to not only tape the moving boxes together, but will carry all the heavy boxes to the moving truck for you while you take the one labeled “pillows.” Thank you Tom!

The Brothers Hemsworth bringing in your mail

Chris and Liam know that it’s quite a trek to your mailbox and that you aren’t feeling your best today, so they bring all of your mail packages to you.

John Boyega helping you at Ikea

Everyone’s favorite “friend’s little brother who got super hot since the last time you saw him” John Boyega has your Ikea nightstand (THE DYFJORD!) totally handled. Not only does he find it in the labyrinth of the warehouse, but he even helps you put it together after you make it home.

Idris Elba cooking your Blue Apron meal

Idris will personally deliver your meal service to you this Boxing day, and not only will he prepare it, he’ll do that hot guy cooking thing where he flings a dish towel over his shoulder with nonchalance. He will also know the exact perfect wine to pair with your dish.

Henry Cavill delivering flowers

He knows that roses are your favorite, and just for you, he’ll shave the mustache that he needed to grow for Mission Impossible 6. No need to CGI it out this time.

The Canadian Ryans bringing you baked goods

You can laugh over Deadpool and “Hey girl” memes all Boxing Day long with these two.

Tell us your man and box of choice for New Boxing Day in the comments!
