Thanks this is the first time i have heard anyone say Happy Boxing day
We went on a nice picnic on boxing day - for us it was yesterday
some people say someone invented a box on boxing day and the the lid was invented on the 1st of June...i would be more than happy to have a public holiday on the 1st of June to honour the maker of the lid for the box

I always have a little giggle about Boxing Day sales. I tell folks that all the Ukrainians are the smart ones, we do all our Christmas shopping during the Boxing Day sales for Ukrainian Christmas.

TJ, QSIS asked me about the origins of Boxing Day on another thread a couple of days ago - http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f29/christmas-idea-41347-2.html
Our post-Christmas sales only started today. All the "Sunday drivers" were on the road today - drifting into lanes, going dramatically under the current speed and/or speed limit for no apparent reason, deciding to block multiple lanes of traffic because they couldn't decide which they wanted. I was so glad that I didn't have an allotted time to be at my destination, it was very frustrating driving. Couldn't get parking at the shopping centres. Luckily the food stores had ample parking - which is all I really needed!
Thanks all for the warm wishes! Ozzies, as I'm sure Rom and Em will agree, will have a public holiday for all the Saints Days if at all possible!!
