To have no idea what people do on Boxing Day?

When I was younger my nan, (dad's side) did a boxing day party. My aunts and uncles and cousins came - they were all a bit older than me. But they bought presents with them and we opened them then. Often my nan had come round after mass on Christmas morning so I would have seen her on Christmas day.

We alternate boxing day with dp's brother we go to them or they come to us. Dc's cousins are a similar age and we do present swapping then as we both generally have Christmas dinner at home. It's always a very nice laid back day. Which has evolved slightly as dc have got older (now 11&13).

Collect my mother (85).Go to the town square to see the hunt set off. Hot chocolate, chat with people . Go to grandchildren's house and watch them open their presents from us.Home ,light the wood burner, watch Christmas TV.

Eat leftovers

Go for a meal out

Visit people

Go to shop sales or online

Go for a walk

Just chill. Eat leftovers and relax.

We don't live near family so we never make plans to do anything.

I must be doing something wrong here because my Boxing Days usually involve a lot of binbags and wrestling with recycling.

We usually have my parents here. I get up early and do a workout and a walk on my own for the fresh air and peace and quiet.

Then when everyone is up I make bacon (good stuff from the butcher) and fruit and croissants etc. Plus any open bottles of champagne come out too.

Then we walk to the pub about 2 miles down a bridleway for drinks, back to the house for a sit at the table leftovers late lunch with everything out.

Then relax, open red wine and watch TV.

My DM must have been mad - we always had a big roast dinner on Boxing Day too - only it’d be pork instead of turkey. Except for no crackers, it was like a 2nd Christmas dinner.

I do nowt ! Xx some lovely suggestions on here though.

Whatever you like!
I treat it like a Sunday in the 80s. (We weren't a Sunday roast family - don't do that on boxing day if you aren't doing 2nd Xmas!) Get out in fresh air for a while. No shopping, errands etc. Feast on leftovers / cheese and crackers. If your kids like you to play games with them, this is the day for it, video games, collaborative games, board games whatever. My parents do a quiz out of the paper. I know a family who call it Lego day. It is a good day to use your presents - have a long bath, read the new book, indulge in crafty hobbies.
Boxing day is a beautiful day, because there's not the weight of expectation. You can please yourself (although I do make fresh air compulsory that's because my kids are nicer people afterwards!)

Stay home, usually, cook the leftovers for a smaller version of Christmas dinner, and eat the chocolates. Chill out and do fuck all.

Roam the house in your pyjamas eating inappropriate meals and lying around?

Relaxing, no shopping!!!! Hardly any cooking, lots of lovely leftovers to eat up, a good walk, maybe a jigsaw, hopefully watching some of the Christmas TV I missed on catch-up, or possibly that I recorded, always assuming that I actually remembered to….

Christmas Day is just us and the kids and on Boxing Day we’re throwing a party for friends. Buffet for everyone’s leftovers, crackers, games and booze.

Play board games, read new books, go for a walk. Eat left over turkey sandwiches, watch a Christmas film, enjoy watching the kids play with their new toys.

A lie in, then playing with gifts with the DC, tidying followed by a long walk, back for tea and shortbread. I eventually serve leftover turkey with bubble and squeak and lots of gravy/

We go for a long walk if it's fine

Jigsaw

Usually see whichever side of the family we didn't see on the day.

If not that its just a lovely family day - board games, picky lunch of leftovers, nice walk if the weather is okay.

Games, maybe a film, walk on the beach depending on weather, steak and chips for lunch.

Us too. We've done that for about the past 5 years. Mufasa this year!

We always had a quiet day however DGS was born on Boxing Day last year so we shall be attending birthday parties for the foreseeable future.

Another vote for the cinema here! Also the zoo. Country walk if the weather is suitable.

Lazy morning , wrap up warm and go for a country walk in the afternoon .

Christmas Day is super busy with mass, visitors , cooking, games and general carousing so we save present opening for Boxing Day when it's just DH and I and adult DC. We open presents, watch all the TV we didn't have time for the day before and generally chill out in PJs eating leftovers.

We've done this since the children were tiny. They always felt sorry for other children who squashed all the fun into one day and had nothing left to look forward to on Boxing Day.

It's a chill day for us too and usually leftovers and jigsaw ,games and a movie.
This year as we are all adults now and kids partners are with us too we are doing a murder mystery dinner in the evening.
