Boxing Day, which falls on the day after Christmas, was the day that the upper class would give gifts to their servants.  Oy.  Today, in the British countries that still observe it, it’s a shopping holiday, much like the Black Friday day after Thanksgiving has become here in the US.  An ode to consumerism.  Oh well…

Today, I’m back at work.  The voice is back, the  cough lingering, but there’s much to talk about – and I’ll have two shows on which to do it.

Join me this morning here at Radio or Not, and this afternoon on the Randi Rhodes Show as we look back on some of the big stories of 2012 and cover today’s news as well.

Talk to you soon!
