On Christmas day, 25th December, people visit church and leave money & gifts for the poor in small boxes placed their by the priest, formally known as Christmas Box.
Also, in old days ~ servants used to work at their masters place on Christmas night. Thus, the following day, 26th December, they were given day off. Servants would bring small boxes in which their masters kept coins and food.. as bonus!

There is no Ashes series in 2008. neither there is a World Cup or India vs Pakistan test series. Giving a quick glance to International cricket schedule for year 2008 below, I see the biggest test series happening between Australia & West Indies, in April-May. We also have Aussies coming to India, then a ICC Champions trophy.. but in short - fixtures time table made by ICC for 2008 isn't as attractive as it could have been..
Most of the teams will play at home, or tour a country for a bilateral cricket series of some test matches & ODI tours. International cricket council also didn't plot too many tri-series (except one in Bangladesh) then the traditional Commonwealth Bank ... .. Read complete article |
