Bosing Day

Today is Boxing Day, a holiday celebrated in England and many of its former colonies. Tradition has it that this is the day churches opened their Alms Boxes to share with the needy. Many merchants also "boxed up" holiday goodies and gave them to their workers.

In any event, why not put a modern spin on this tradition and donate one's time or surplus pet supplies to a local shelter? Many are in need of towels, blankets, dog food and/or treats, leashes, collars and anything that would warm the hearts of its residents.

Consider it a box of love.
