I was pleased to learn, after a little Google research, that I have celebrated Boxing Day in an acceptable way.
"For many people Boxing Day is a time to recover from the excesses of Christmas Day..." That's what I did. After a busy, fun time with family yesterday i basically spent today relaxing and reading a good book. I did not deliver gifts to the serfs or participate in a fox hunt (old time Boxing Day traditions), nor did I participate in shopping for post-Christmas bargains, attending a sporting event or taking a hike in the country (more contemporary BD activities). I think a day for relaxing after Christmas Day is an excellent idea and I may celebrate Boxing Day every December 26.
