Welcome to another edition of MyBindi's newsletter!
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. This season is known to be the season for giving but never before has the spirit of giving and generosity been more evident than in the past few days when families across the GTA opened their homes and their hearts to share the warmth with people (often strangers) who lost power due to the unprecedented ice storm we experienced.
It was so touching and truly heart warming to see my facebook feed and all of social media abound with invitations. THIS is the true spirit of Christmas.
But, with Christmas behind us, the much awaited Boxing Day Sales are here! Click HERE to read about the origins of Boxing Day.
If you're ready to shop for some bargains, check out Nisha Canada's Boxing Day Sales at its three locations in the GTA. You can 70% off all day today!! See details below.
We will have a special party edition for you on the weekend with the hottest new year's eve parties.

The Origins of Boxing Day
| 
If you're wondering why the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day, I hope, like me, you find the answers below interesting. But first off I must say; it has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.
Its origins are steeped in history and tradition. Arguments abound on the origins of the name Boxing Day, all of the answers here are relevant, so maybe it is all of them.
- A 'Christmas Box' in Britain is a name for a Christmas present.
- Boxing Day was a day off for servants and when they received a 'Christmas Box' from the master. The servants would also go home to give 'Christmas Boxes' to their families.
- A box to collect money for the poor was placed in Churches on Christmas day then opened the next day.
- Great sailing ships when setting sail would have a sealed box containing money on board for good luck.If the voyage were a success the box was given to a priest, opened at Christmas and the contents given to the poor.
