To have no idea what people do on Boxing Day?

For the first time, ever, I have no Boxing Day plans. Boxing Day was always seeing my grandparents (now they have died) and in the last 20 years, seeing my inlaws. Sadly they have both recently passed away.
I have two kids 8 and 12, and no idea what people do on Boxing Day! Any ideas gratefully received.

I prefer going out after a chaotic day indoors on Christmas day. So we see if there's any family we haven't seen before Christmas that are available and go for a drink at theirs.

Love Boxing Day..it's totally relaxing.
A day of left overs...having a real good look at the gifts we received
Might cut the Christmas cake..

For us, playing with our new things, a trip to the coast for a walk if it's sunny, then we have our christmas dinner as we don't have it the day before!

We sleep naked but have pyjamas just for lounging.

same. I get home. into PJs. I wear them all the time at home, apart from when I go to bed, then they come off. I get up. I put them on. I get changed just before leaving the house. to me it's like taking off your coat and shoes to be comfortable. I don't wear outdoor clothes around the house.

When we don't have Boxing Day plans to visit or have visitors we just chill at home reading, watching films, doing puzzles and eat/drink. If weather nice we go for a walk. Traditionally a lot hit the shops but I can't think of anything worse.
