𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆? 🎁 The name Boxing Day doesn’t come from throwing punches – it actually started as a day of giving. Back in the 19th century, wealthy families in Britain would box up gifts, leftovers, and donations for their staff and those in need. Churches also collected money in alms boxes and distributed them the day after Christmas.

Bet you’ve never heard of this extreme sport! And it has so many fans that they opened a world championship. Extreme Ironing has been a Thing since the eighties, but took off as an official sport in the last 27 years. Let me tell you about the 2002 championship. There were 5 rounds and all 12 (12!!!) teams from across the globe took part in each round. 🚙 Round 1: iron around, inside, or on top of a broken car. Perfectly normal, right? 🌊 Round 2: Iron while standing in the middle of a flowing river. (No, I don’t know how you plug in an iron while standing in a river.) 🌳 Round 3: Climb up a tree (with your ironing board, of course) and do some ironing. 💪 Round 4: Climb a wall and iron there. 🤔 Round 5: Iron freestyle, wherever you want. For your information, the German team won that year. But that’s nothing. People have been schlepping their ironing boards up mountains and ironing there too (see picture). And if Extreme Ironing sounds like your kind of thing, why not raise money while you do it? The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the 3 highest mountains in England, Scotland, and Wales—within 24 hours. Oh, by the way, you’ll need to carry your ironing board with you. Not for me.

Today, December 26, is Boxing Day This is a public holiday in many countries with historical ties to the British Empire, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Name Origin: Charity Tradition: The term "Boxing Day" likely comes from the practice of giving boxes of gifts or money to servants, tradespeople, and the poor. In wealthy households, servants would work on Christmas Day to prepare for their employers' festivities and were allowed the following day off to celebrate with their own families. Church Connection: Another theory ties the name to alms boxes in churches, which were opened on December 26 to distribute donations to the needy. Modern Celebrations: It has evolved into a day of shopping (akin to Black Friday in the U.S.), sports events, and family gatherings. In some countries, it retains a charitable aspect, with donations or volunteering. #AmiablelanguageServices #teachinglanguages #boxingday #traditions #celebrations

In the world of boxing, strategy is everything. Each punch thrown is a calculated move, much like a game of chess. The ultimate goal is not just to strike but to outthink your opponent and deliver that final, decisive blow—checkmate. As we prepare for the upcoming BBFC Charity fight, this philosophy rings true. It’s about quiet preparation, relentless training, and the power of focus. Victory isn’t just about brute strength, but timing, patience, and precision. Stay tuned. The time to say checkmate is fast approaching. 🥊👊 #BBFC #BusinessBoxing #MoveInSilence #Checkmate #BoxingStrategy #CharityFight #MindOverMatter #StayFocused
