USPS:
It is with our greatest pleasure that we wish you and your family
a very happy Boxing Day! We know you may have a lot of questions for
us, so let's answer them upfront:
Q: Why would the United States Postal Service be wishing anyone
well on a holiday that is not typically celebrated in the United
States?
A: Great question! We at the USPS are looking to start a campaign
that celebrates more universal festive days. And what could be more
festive than a holiday celebrated in the United Kingdom, Australia,
and Canada?
Q: Is this merely a promotional gimmick?
A: Of course not! The USPS is dedicated to providing great
customer service and if that means acknowledging other cultures'
holidays, we're more than happy to oblige. We're also happy to remind
you of our Flat Rate boxes—if it fits, it ships!
Q: Are there any special deals that come with mailing something
on Boxing Day?
A: We cannot offer reduced rates at this time.
Q: Do your employees get this new holiday off?
A: No.
Q: Does the awful and possibly privacy-invasive service of email
celebrate Boxing Day? Or is it still the cold, heartless fad without
any concern for anything outside itself or stamps?
A: No. And yes.
See? As a firm believer in respecting other cultures, the USPS
recognizes that there is a world far outside of our typical sphere.
We want to encourage our (dwindling) customers to celebrate Boxing
Day any way they want. Might we suggest sending a package? Nothing
says “Let's celebrate the day after Christmas” like a big box of
stuff. Doesn't matter what. Doesn't matter to whom. All that matters
is that you use the United States Postal Service to ship it.
Pay-Per-View:
Two men enter! One man leaves! Thousands of men watch!
The big fight is happening, and only on Pay-Per-View! Watch as
the two heavyweight champions of the world exchange fists in the most
brutal match of the year!
Anywhere else, and this would be considered assault! Only here,
where adults are paid millions of dollars to beat the shit out of
other adults, is it totally legal! You can't get this anywhere else!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime fight and it's happening on December
26th! Celebrate the day with two men debating with their
fists, because debating with words is for pussies!
Holy shit! I just got it! I just realized why this is a big deal!
It's Boxing Day! Like, Boxing/boxing! The guys are fighting each
other, and it's on a holiday called Boxing Day! Whoa!
Whoever put this event together should get an award or something!
Or what if they didn't know?! What a crazy coincidence that would be!
Huh...
Tune in at 9!
Classical Composer Figurine Company:
The sweet, poetic sounds of Johann Sebastian Bach are timeless.
Much like Frank Sinatra and Christmas, classical music has been a
staple when it comes to Boxing Day for centuries. And what better way
to commemorate the occasion by showing someone you care with a 1/10
scale replica of a classical composer? Give your loved one a figurine
they'll cherish forever. Maybe a Beethoven? A Bach? Better yet, make
it two. Yes, two Bachs.
We'll even package your figurines and send them to you, set to
arrive the day after Christmas. Two Bachs in a box on Boxing Day?
What could be better?
Relive the beauty of Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Major with multiple
Johann dolls added to your collection. It makes perfect sense:
acknowledging the life of a German composer during a holiday
celebrated in select African countries and other random Commonwealth
states.
We're glad you chose us for such a special day. We'll get your
box of Bachs ready.
