Essentially, though I think the issue was the guy who is overpowered when he's got a group with him in battle is somebody I can kill before the battle. Need to do that.

Can't fight a battle if all their soldiers are dead before the battle.

Did anyone celebrate Boxing Day as it is meant to be celebrated, i.e. boxing stuff up to give to charity? I have a few things that can go.

Wait, that's how Boxing Day is meant to be celebrated?

Nowadays, it's just hypercommercialized garbage.

No because I don't live in the U.K or Canada, and for some unknown reason we Yanks don't celebrate it.

Yup:
The European tradition, which has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions, has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown. It is believed to be in reference to the Alms Box placed in areas of worship to collect donations to the poor. Also, it may come from a custom in the late Roman/early Christian era, wherein metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen, which in the Western Church falls on the same day as Boxing Day.

it was actually quite a widespread European tradition, rather than being limited to the Brits and Canadians.

Uh, interesting to know...

I'd be more charitable, but I am already spent from aiding my parents monetarily and having so few material possessions.

I think the intention of the tradition is for people to give whatever they can. Since the tradition has its roots in Christianity that aspect isn't particularly surprising, as Christianity has long said that people should give whatever they can. I think if you even can only donate a single book to charity then the spirit of it is maintained.
