Boxing Day

[Twotome]

What do you do on Boxing Day?

We never have any plans and im always gutted Christmas Day is over.

Go to my parents and have a second Christmas Day.

We'll probably go out for a wander round the shops then stop at the lovely chip shop for a chippy lunch! (I live 'darn sarf' but I'll be up North with family where you can get proper fish and chips! My annual treat!)

Boxing Day has always been as big a deal as Christmas Day in my family. We always have the family round, have a big lunch and then play games. It’s as good as Christmas Day!

@cliffdiver I wish we had a second Christmas Day. Maybe i will host one

@HundredMilesAnHour That sounds nice - something to look forward to!

We’ve always com Boxing Day drinks. Day spent with those staying for Christmas walking dog on beach or getting house ready and making canapés. I love Boxing Day.

Go to mils with about 300 (well 23) others for Xmas #2. She's like Jesus. She'll have less food cooked than I will for the 5 of us, everyone will be fed and there'll be left overs.

My DP split up when I was 5 so Christmas Day with one parent & Boxing Day with the other (& both families).
Then added a 3rd 'Chris day' when I got married to include ILs, back to 2 now divorced but if it's the year DD is with her Dad, we have an extra one with my family & her, so Christmas Day & Boxing Day always has been like 2 Christmas days with an added 3rd every other year!

Boxing Day is my favourite day
Lay in , out for a walk ( hope the weathers good enough )
Then leftovers , Definitely include bubble n squeak
Leftover Christmas pud fried in butter with caster sugar on top
Lovely 😊

This year i'm being induced! Definitely wont be an every year event though

Races. Traditional round here.

We go to my inlaws, we have a few drinks in their local then cold meat (ham and turkey) and real chips buffet I prefer it to Xmas dinner!!!

Boxing Day is when we go and see DHs family as we stay at home on Christmas Day so we can visit my Dad.

How about making a new tradition such as a walk with a hot chocolate picnic or going to the cinema?

17caterpillars1mouse how exciting! Good luck

Love all the different traditions, think i will start my own

We usually go to a party - same group of friends take turns to host. This year however we are at ILs and then heading home early as DH is on call in the evening.

Boxing Day is always busier than Christmas Day. We go to PILs along with lots of extended family so it ends up with between 20-30 of us. Big buffet style dinner, Secret Santa and Christmas films, it's lovely.

We do another Christmas Day too! 🎄🎄

My OH is working Christmas Day afternoon, so we're having a buffet. Boxing Day he is working in the morning and has the afternoon off, my DP are coming with the DC presents, so another Christmas Day really but this time I will be making a proper dinner. Unfortunately cows don't milk themselves

@17caterpillars1mouse Same for me, so we now celebrate DS's birthday on Boxing Day (he's 11 this year). Good luck!

We always went to London and saw a show. This year we can't as my ds is too ill. But it has been a fantastic tradition so far.

Will be recovering from a hangover, watching movies and eating. Back to work on the 27th so wanted a day where me and DH can just chill.

We don't do much boxing day. I do like it though after hosting in Christmas day. Chance to play with ds with his toys and chill. Will hopefully get out for a walk.

Then on 27th we are hoping to go to the steam train!

We have a party with the in laws, BIL and family and DH's step sister. It's lovely as it's very informal! Just lots of party food and presents

I'm working 7-2:30, I work in a mobile care company office which never closes, then when I come back we're having a second Xmas dinner that dh will have prepared, then chilling out the rest of the day making our way through the chocolates and biscuits and watching Xmas films!

Quiet day with a slightly simpler Christmas dinner and a good walk. It's lovely.
