Nope, this is not a post about life in combatative General Forum, nor is it about the silly overrated sport of two men (or women) beating the life out of each other. This thread if about Boxing Day, one of the best days of the year.
It's the best because all the stress of Christmas build up is over, the mood is different, you can stop....feel the different mood...and enjoy it. I like Boxing Day because the football is on TV again, the delicious cold meat lunches, mulling over yesterday's presents, walks in the fresh air and hopefully if you are lucky, no work.
Happy Boxing Day folks.

Shopping on Boxing Day should be outlawed. Seriously.

The 'sweet science' is not only for people with cojones but also
demands discipline, precision, strategy, planning, quick thinking,
perseverance, and a rich understanding of human psychology. Not
unlike chess.
