Tomorrow starts the final week of my first term in my second year at my fourth educational establishment. That may not sound very exciting, but it does mean that as of tomorrow, Boxing Day will be exactly 2 weeks away. "Boxing Day?!" I hear you cry "Who cares about Boxing Day?". Well, in answer to your incredulity, I care about Boxing Day and I will now elaborate as to for why. Boxing Day, or to give it its correct name of St Stephen's Day, is the day after Christmas and I enjoy Boxing Day for 3 main reasons.1) It is the day for playing. On Christmas day, you receive your gifts, but on Boxing Day, you play with them. For m it used to be a day of building lego but not it is a day of playing new XBOX games or putting batteries into new electronics.
2) It is the day of leftovers. Boxing day food is, in my opinion, as good if not a tad better than Christmas day food. Boxing day is the day of slices of meat, and thick tukey based soups but without any of the vegetables one is made to indulge in upon Christmas day.
3) It is the day of relaxation. Christmas day is fraut with cooking and bickering and mess and rubbish and all manner of other slightly strenuous activities.
These are the reasons I enjoy Boxing Day so much, and I just thought I'd share them with you.
