Negotiation is your friend in times like this, Onoj. Try your best to return it tomorrow and if thats not possible, try on the 26th. (I'm not sure if Americans call it Boxing Day or not so, yeah...)

They don't... 'tis just a tradition in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Yay.

Why is it called Boxing Day?
Ian McKellan was on Conan the other night and explained it was because the boxes are taken away or something.

I assume Ian would know and not tell a hokey story, but maybe he did to humour Conan.

[edit] Longbow, your mask scares me.
Okay not really, but I wanted to make note of the change. You look complete now.

Ah thank you, now I can tell people who do not know, and they will be amazed by my genious.
Of course I will give credit to Longbow as he helped me.  

[Onoj]

Yeah I am going to go probably sunday or sometime next week. It has a thirty day return policy I think so I am fine.

Also I am caroling and I want a full set but as of right now I am lacking Leon, Ruby, Vanessa, and...the bank lady. I have an extra Moira, Edmund and Ian. Anyone interested in a trade?

Yeah I found that quite odd and amusing as well.

100 pages!

And--Good King Wenscalslas suddenly makes that much more sense to me. I was wondering why a king would go out and feed a poor guy, then I learned that St. Stephan's day is Boxing Day. It's all clear to me, thanks Longbow!

1 day, 1 hour and 35 minutes until Christmas day.

Must go caroling more. I have two gifts!  

[Elainya]

((Is caroling with two characters at once a bad thing? Oh well...)) I'm looking forward to most of Chirstmas, but my mom's being a bit...offsetting. Usually we celebrate on the 24th, but this year it's the 26th. I don't know, honestly, but whatever.

It's only about 21 hours away, here. whee  

[Onoj]

Lalala. I am opening up the question if anyone wants to trade? I just got a ruby gift so now I need a Vanessa, a Leon, and a bank lady gift. I have an extra Moira, Edmund, and Ian.  

[Elainya]

I don't have any extras of anything. I'm getting a full set and that's it. If I have more time before I leave tomorrow I might get some extras.  

[Onoj]

I am one present, and one carol away from getting a full set. Is Zach back yet or are you still controlling his Avatar Elainya? If so I Pmd him.
