Boxing Day

[Aquarius1234]

AIBU to think Boxing Day is overrated?.
Lol

I love it. Leftovers, beach walk, good telly, books.

No pressure, no stress.

It's a great day for taking down the tree and decorations that's for sure!!

YABU, one of my favourite days of the year.

No expectations, no fuss, no cooking necessary - just relaxing.

You totally ABU. Bloody love BD. No stress, chilling with films I would never normally watch, eating all manner of left overs and more chocolate than is sensible, doing very little. Ace!

Me too. Put a few boxes away, tidy up a bit of mess, left over sandwiches, no pressure to do nowt. Good books to read, good wine to drink, kids old enough to sort themselves out. . .

I prefer Christmas Dinner so much more.
And opening presents better tv.

As I’m getting older I struggle to socialise on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. I love a busy boozy Christmas Day and a quiet Boxing Day to recover.

Best day of the year. I feel at my most relaxed. New book by the tree and fire, listening to lovely carols, wee nibbles, Christmas gin, a wee sherry to look forward to later!

Nope, Boxing Day is much better than Christmas Day. Way more relaxed and just a day to chill out.

Exactly this!

I really enjoy it, it's always been our day with DH's side of the family and it's much more relaxed than Christmas Day

love Christmas Eve, friends, a walk..planned so no cooking. Boxing Day….great leftovers, a walk, no need to do anything much….lie in…catch up on tv from night before…love both those days.

Christmas Day Is nice.

Love Boxing Day. So relaxed and loads of good food and gifts are still new and exciting.

Boxing Day is great, a lovely chill out day with no expectations! We do a low key Christmas Day just the four of us so it’s not stressful but I love having nothing I must do on Boxing Day. DS and DH have been to the football and me and DD have watched some movies at home and are now having a buffet tea. We are busy until 2nd January after today and have had a mega busy December so a do nothing day is great!

Love all the days. Every day off work is a day to savour and enjoy. Big walk with the dogs, leftovers and napping. What's not to like?

Love Boxing Day. The chill after the storm. All the good reasons mentioned above.

I much prefer my dinner on Boxing Day!! Tastes better & much more relaxed

I prefer it to Xmas Day tbf 🎄

Wow so no one prefers Xmas Day? Or Xmas Eve?

I usually think Boxing Day is boring but today my sister came up and we had tickets to the pantomime and then did some shopping.
In lush it was 50% off everything Christmassy so I was in heaven- all in all it has been a very enjoyable day.

Christmas Eve is the best day - loads of baking and preparation and excitement and it feels all Christmassy.

Boxing Day feels flat and far too close to January!

Boxing Day is wondrous - my family have gone away, the fridge is full of leftovers and I can piss about doing whatever I fancy.
