It's just after 8 a.m. here and so quiet. There's about 10 inches of new snow on the ground and Arctic temperatures outside, so it'll probably be that way all day.

We have barely any snow here, but a few flurries today. I am going out shopping soon, trying to find myself a new winter jacket and some shoes. Hopefully there are some good sales.

Happy Boxing day friends!
We're gearing up for a big storm.
I have a ton of cleaning to do...having to put all the Christmas gifts away and I don't know where I'm going to put everything.
Also can't wait to watch the World Jr. game later!

Happy Boxing day! I finally looked it up.
I've known about the holiday for ages (it's not one officially recognized in the U.S.), but never knew what it was. It seems like a wonderful tradition of giving!

How do you celebrate boxing day?

Mild and wet here, not much activity, the official Christmas dinner later on when our friend who usually spends Christmas with us gets here. He got to see his sister this year (unusual), so we postponed by a day.

Happy Boxing Day, everyone.

Happy Boxing Day. The kitties and I opened all the boxes yesterday, so just a quiet day today. Well, mostly quiet. They've been running drag races through the house this afternoon.

I don't do anything for boxing day I know what is traditional for it though I'm just wrapping the day up with a nice gin and tonic

We had our family Christmas today. Yesterday we had Christmas with my SO's family. I think I would be sick if I ate another bite.

There were lots of Boxing Day sales around here today of course.

I think Boxing Day has become a smaller version of Black Friday in the US.

Boxing Day is a public holiday here, so everything is closed except for gas stations and shops in airports and main train terminals.

PITA here today because Boxing day and Christmas Day are observed on Monday & Tuesdays, so that means our banks were shut from Saturday and don't open until Wednesday. Annoying!
