Today is the #DayOfGoodwill. Called #BoxingDay is most other countries that celebrate it, the South African government renamed it when they re-did all the public holidays shortly after coming into power in 1994.
Whatever you call it, the idea is that you show a little bit of that goodwill to your fellow human beings today. "Peace on Earth and Goodwill to everyone," as the angels said.
Oh, yeah, it's also the Second Day of Christmas (there are 12, if you'll remember). :-)
