Whoopee!

So what does Boxing Day mean to you?  The sales?  Football matches? Race meetings?  Foxhunting (if you're posh)?  It's certainly a busy, busy day for many people.  This was of course traditionally the first day of the "twelve days of Christmas" festivities.  At one time, Boxing Day football matches would be arranged to be local derbies so players and fans didn't have to travel long distances - although that idea seems to have gone the way of all flesh.  For many people - perhaps you - it's the day to relax after the stresses of Christmas Day.  So, a day to be enjoyed.
