Hello, and happy December 26th! Today is also known by many as Boxing Day. So, we thought, why not celebrate the day traditionally associated with gifts (and unwrapping them) with the best songs about boxes, boxing, or homes like little boxes on the hillside.
By now, those who celebrate have enjoyed their Christmastime, ate their glazed ham, recycled their wrapping paper, and cleaned up the packing peanuts. Now, it’s time for some good ol’ holiday relaxing.
