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.

Re: Happy Boxing Day?
Lol, that's funny. I'm barely aware of it myself. I think there was a MASH episode about it...

Re: Happy Boxing Day?
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.

Re: Happy Boxing Day?
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

Re: Happy Boxing Day?
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
