Traditionally it was a day to give presents to servants or employees, or to charity. The origin of the name is disputed; I was told it was from "boxing up" possessions to give away, but I doubt this is true. Happy birthday!

Brittany is at her dad's until Monday, and Angie and my mom both get their new cars on Boxing Day! I've got the test up on Cricinfo. I'm just hoping it is better than the Second Test between England and India. Fog is not that exciting to watch online. We’ve still got three more hours of Christmas Day, but things are winding down.

There's a pile of dvds to watch, new books to read, and a fridge full of christmas leftovers to munch on. And nothing, nothing, nothing at all I actually have to do. Love it.
