Third day of Christmas? Since when does christmas have multiple days? It's not Hanukkah. You mean like the day after Christmas? Like boxing day? Like Christmas Eve is day one, and Christmas day is day two, and boxing day is day three?.. Wait you don't have boxing day in the states. It's just in Canada and England... and probably other Countries -- I'm not sure where. And I'm not even sure why it exists. It's just we call the day after Christmas boxing day, and there are a bunch of sales -- but it's not an official Holiday or a day off of work or anything. I'm not entirely sure why it exists. Perhaps a question for googe.

It's only a statutory Holiday in Ontario. It's celebrated in Canda, England, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and many common Wealth countries. Nobody is sure why it is called boxing day -- It just is. It's the day when everything in stores is extremely cheap, compares to the United States Black Friday. But you guys probably have sales after Christmas anyways.

((Yeah, but it's the day ater christmas instead of the day after thanksgiving. And then our thanksgiving is in October and we only have Remembrance day in November -- Which is your Veteran's day. Okay, um. So were we waiting for Britt? I'm pretty sure we were waiting for Britt in all the RPs which is sort of why this site died. I blame her. Lily, are you able to revive-afy her? -- Oh revive, is like re-vive, like again-live because you're bringing someone back to life! That's so cool. I enjoy etymology. That's what we were doing in English today and I've been running around life all day pointing out roots of words and Latin and Greek origins. It makes me feeel all magical because spells are all Latin and Greek.))

((Okay, that sucks... But lol, that's so funny ;D My Dad's phone fell in the toilet too. It didn't work at all after that. And then he slammed his other phone in a car door -- that one didn't work after that either.))

I am reading the Lost Hero, it's a good book. Did you read it? I'm half way through.))

(( Well, this was probably the easiest thread to get caught up on...))
"Oh, I'm Auburn." Auburn said, holding her hand out for a handshake. Did these guys do handshakes? She hoped so, or this would be stupid, holding her hand out like this...
