*revelation* Ah-hah! Americans do have Boxing Day! They just call it Black Friday and shift it to after Thanksgiving. I just knew no developed nation could be content without a holiday appointed solely for the torture of people working in retail.

In other news, wireless crapped out on us a few days ago!!! argh, so I am not really around much - skimming the flist whenever I can, but that's it really. :-/

Those of us not so shopping minded usually spend Boxing Day sunbathing and polishing off the left-overs from Christmas, and mucking around with our presents. It's also the traditional day to visit family and friends if you had a nuclear-family-only Christmas Day (sharing that function with Christmas afternoon.) Associated with cricket, too; there are usually test matches starting on Boxing Day. Bit of a multi-purpose holiday, really.
