Boxing Day
 

Yurr. So what exactly is the point in Boxing Day?

Is/has anyone taken part in the Boxing Day Sale buyage?

I have!!! I had super fun! I bought:

Radiohead - Ok Computer
Aladdian Sountrack
Paua Pendant
Photo Paper (140 leaves)
Pink Top
Eyebrow Pencil
Powder
Subway (ok that wasn't a sale, but it kept me sane)

Spent most of today trying to reach the magical 100km/h.

Bloody traffic:( At least I'm home now

Boxing day is the day you open your presents.


Or at least, should open your presents.


But everyone else is too excited on christmas :).

Like hell it is! Thats stupid. Christmas is the day of opening presents.

*Waits to get torched alive by ninehundredandeightyseventhousand christians*

Christmas is when you GET the presents. Boxing day is the day when the relies are gone, so you can open and bin them at discretion without fear of said relies knowing :)

^Agreed. What's Christmas gotta do with Christians?

Santa rules ok!

I have a myspace group called 'SubwayLove' Shh. I'm sad.
But you know you like Subway.
*nervous laugh*
In my family the point in Boxing Day is to go & see my Grandparents & Dads sisters family.
It's like a second Christmas, It's ace.

Christmas is presents and turkley and alcomahol :)

Shutyerface that boxing day is for opening presents. Thats what 4 oclock on chirsmats morning is for. Well, that and hot choclate. Boxing day is NOT for boxing, but for chicken and more alcohol and more relatives that cant be bothered to visiyt you on christmas day.

Ahah. Christmas is awesome :)

I'll join it! Invite meee!!!

I've had no involvement with any relation this year other than my parents! Last year it was like half of my family, we went away too see them. I like this quiet Christmas.

what does boxing day mean? where does the name come from?

It comes from being the day PEOPLE OPENED THE PRESENTS



sheesh I feel ignored.

ummm...but seriously

I hated boxing day! It was awful! Oh god don't let me go there again...

That was the worst boxing day...In fact anyday of my life.

WOOHOO, i went and saw the cricket......9:00am to 6:00pm, sitting there watching. MCG looks soooo good, i think by far the best stadium in the world. yes yes, i saw Ricky Ponting get a century very good. Would've been good to see Hussey get his today though, and the partnership between him and McGrath.

I believe you.
:]

I'm not going to look into it or anything. :]]

It comes from an incident back in 15clickty2 when Lord Ellesbury of Sandwich had a bare-fisted boxingmatch with his son on their estate, he having not shown appreciation of his present as it was "only a 20gig one".

Also: cos all the BOXES yer presents were in are now empty...no seriously.

Or maybe cos all the footies on, and Wayne Rooney looks like he should have to wear one on his head.

We call it St. Stephens' Day o'er here, though. Cos as Irish we have to have like 3 holy days in a row to pretend were not materialistic

we dont really celebrate boxing day as much as they do in the CA. its black friday for the states
