I'm guessing it's not a thing over your way, haha!

Happy Boxing Day to all who aren't the insane ones who go out to stampede the shops for bargain sales
In our home, Boxing Day is the 100% chilled version of Christmas Day. The ultimate goal of today is to relax in any way that involves staying in pjs, and not leaving the house. To eat the chocolate received yesterday, and only do the minimum of cooking (plenty of leftovers to reheat!).
Of course, my mind is already turning towards the New Year, and how might it look. I'm not one for resolutions as such, but I do like change and challenges, so it's always the perfect time to reflect on what I'd like to achieve in the months to come.
Lit has been a bitter-sweet pill this year, and I hope that next year it will be much easier to swallow.![]()
No, but I'm willing to learn...![]()
), but it's originally when post workers, servants, deliverers etc would receive a Christmas Box from their employers/customers. It's an official bank holiday here, and like all bank holidays - it used to mean that shops were shut etc. As the years passed, it's become the bonanza for New Year's sales - we go nuts in January for post-Christmas sales, cos you know - we didn't spend enough money in the weeks before the 25th Dec...Hi all in tals thread.

Good Morning Tallulah and Happy Boxing Day definitely sounds like my kind of holiday thinking I'll start celebrating it today.![]()
Forgive my crass summary (thanks wikipedia), but it's originally when post workers, servants, deliverers etc would receive a Christmas Box from their employers/customers.

It's also a common tradition to go running into the sea and staying there until you can't stand the cold any longer, that's called Boxing Day Dip. Some do it for charity, others for fun.
Yup, thanks! Hope you and yours did too!
Yeah, hide away and get fatter! That's my motto!![]()

I thought a boxing day dip was guacamole down south or curry sauce if you're up north?

Ha! You think you're wolf, but you're just a cuddly wabbit weally![]()
Ha!
It's reheated Bisto.
*mini-vomit*
That reminds me. I have a bowl of sprouts to eat![]()
Yes. Please swallow whole.
Haha! I'm sooooo scared!
Mini-vomit reminds you of a bowl of sprouts? Interesting.
When read directly after a comment about sprouts, all I can think of is swallowing sprouts whole. That is dangerous, you know. Not as dangerous as a napping rabbit, but still.![]()
If you think they will fit, I guess you can swallow my sprouts too...
*Quietly pokes his head in for a couple of minutes.*
I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.

LMAO....well, we just call that "the day after Christmas" here!!!
I'm glad to just be relaxing too. I think there is a move afoot to go out and "do something" I am resisting mightily.

Your mouth is,as big as it needs to be. Generally.![]()
You say the sweetest things to me! *swoons*Oh...I see. Having grown up around Jersey wiseguys I was thinking it was more like "On this day we settle alllll family business."![]()
I got a lump of coal and a Satsuma.
The usual money, a hard drive for my XBox and a dozen or so films.
Did you get the vibrating love eggs that you wanted?
No, i didn't. Neither did I get the box-set of the Top 50 Lit wanking dicks.
*sobs*
Well at least you got mine. I honestly didn't mean to send it to your mother first. *shakes head.*
