Happy Boxing Day?

ok so this is one of those holidays that we really dont celebrate here in the states BUT my hubby is from England. Since I am clueless about what it is or how its celebrated we have taken to random play punching matches around the house.

Lol, that's funny. I'm barely aware of it myself. I think there was a MASH episode about it...

Up here in Canada it's basically another day off work, and the day that everyone goes out shopping to get the deals they didn't get before Christmas.

I planned to go boxing day shopping to get gifts for people I've missed, but I slept have my day away since I worked yesterday- and now it's time for drinks. Maybe next year. x_x

I know Shaun is right but i always thought that boxing day was the day that you pack up all the boxes from the presents ready to recycle :)

or.....

the day you have to take all the boxes and wrapping paper,back out the outside bin,then spread across the house floor.....

to look for a few little parts of the kids presents that got chucked away by mistake

i know its a tradition at mine i could do without;)

cheers shaun:yes:
