Boxing Day

The first time I heard about Boxing Day, I thought it was about sports. I imagined living rooms across the nation filled with half dressed men, sitting on sofas, chugging their booze, and shouting at their tvs while boxers pummeled each other in a ring.

Boxing Day isn't really celebrated in the USA, but I think it's great holiday. What could be better than a casual hanging out day centered around re-gifting, and left overs?

I've always thought Boxing Day was the day after Christmas, but it seems it's more complicated than that. Apparently, in some places, when Boxing Day falls on a Sunday, and Christmas is on a Saturday, Boxing Day gets moved to Tuesday.

I've always really admired those who somehow manage to come out the other side of Christmas with cash to spend on all the after-holiday sales. It's a particular super power that I simply do not possess! I count myself successful if we manage to get through and still have paid the power bill. Which we did, happily.

I hope your holiday was great. And hey - guess what? I'm back to blogging. Didn't take long. My URL has changed only slightly, I'll include it here if you feel like dropping in sometime!

I usually don't bother with after Christmas sales unless there's something I wanted that I thought was overpriced (and I hope will be marked down afterwards.) It's also sometimes a good time to get Christmas cards :)

Congrats on making it through the Christmas Holidays. I'm pretty amazed at myself too.

So you're blogging again? Lol! I'd love to hear the story behind that! (both the stopping and re-starting and differences if any.)

PS: I found the blog and am waiting for some videos to load. - Welcome back :)

Hi Wanderer!

-That's what I thought it was! Lol! (For several days if I remember correctly!)
