Does anyone actually 'box'?..........
I usually just do the same as Christmas Day.I.e. Chill out watching the box, play some games with the kids, eat a lot, drink a lot, been known to smoke a lot also, but basically take it totally easy! Maybe it should be called 'Off yer BOX day!'
I love holidays!

Going to go purchase some new bass strings...

Oh and other than that, I typically do the same thing every year. Go and purchase crap and use gift cards.

Basically wandered around.
Faffed around on my computer.
Played 'driveway cricket' with my boys.
Took 2 of my 3 sons Boxing day shopping.
Walked my dog on the beach while son No 2 used his metal detector to comb for lost treasure.
Drunk white wine (I am a Red man).
Watered my veggie garden.
Did a bit of house work.

Eated the fishes.
Cleaned up a little and put more stuff in boxes.
Went out and listened to some music.
Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

Ate brekfast. Some sandwiches with hot sweet home made mustard. From my grand-pa in-law.
Rode my bike to town to see if any decent PS3 games were on xmas sale. Nope.
Did some patching for Max, Live & Lemur.
Took my daughter outside to ride her new bike (yup, christmas gift from me and my loving wife).
Did some chicken souvlaki (on the grill), tsatsiki & oven baked potatoes. Had a Danish christmas beer to go with it (Jacobssen Golden Naked Christmas Ale - a gift from my buddy).
Played Little Big Planet with my daughter.
Some more patching.
Put my daughter to bed. Read one of her christmas-gift-books. Fell asleep for a bit myself.
Spent some time with my wife. Took a bath.
Back to patching.
Posting stuff on the internet. Some music forum.
