No one I know even knows what Boxing day is. Some think its a day to box up the christmas wrappings, others think its the day to put on boxing gloves.

It should be called vegetation day. We can "veg" which means to do NOTHING at all. Nothing except recover from Christmas.

For some it's recover from too much drinking and celebration. For others, its recover from the depression of listening to endless carols, and getting e-mails from everone sending a powerpoint presentation of Mother Theressa...and guilt tripping them into thinking they are saving the environment by not sending you a real card this year.

ME? Boxing day is a day to look at the boxes of stuff I have accumulated, notes, pictures from kids, photos, and ideas floating on my desk.

I've started to scan them and chuck. I'm trying to become a chucker, and not keep so much stuff. It's hard to keep up...a life time of notes!
