My Boxing Day.

It's not even the day after Christmas, the usual Boxing Day, but Canadian retailers are already having Boxing Day sales going on. In the US of A, it's Black Friday today, when prices of commodities have been slashed dramatically.

Boxing Day in Canada literally means that merchandisers are putting into boxes those unsold Christmas items and storing them because Christmas is finished. On Boxing Day, consumers line up before store opening hours to be first to pick up the items on sale.

I'm having my own Boxing Day. I'm putting my things in boxes and luggage. Things and junks accumulated throughout the years. Some stuff are still in their original cartons and unopened.

In the storage room of the condo, there's an unused bike which I purchased years ago, with the original chain lock still in place.

I might give it away to my nephew's kid, Jackson or Leona, when I go to Ohio one of these days. But they have to wait at least ten more years before any of them can use it.
