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!

Edited.. from present to past

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.
you get the drift

Off to (try to) bike up Jebel Hafeet to burn off yesterday's excesses...

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.

Got up feeling the force of the cognac I polished off last night.

Went to visit the mother in law

Ate lots of food, drank some Christmas beer - Bath Ales Festivity.

Played with my kids and my nephew.

Came home, put the kids to bed.

Watched a cheesy movie, missed the end cos my son was throwing up.

Match of the Day.
