The big day is over! All the hype, all the presents, beautifully gift wrapped to look perfect under the tree ended up in a huge pile of unwanted scrap in the recycling bin.
But hangovers aside; it’s Boxing Day, and there's stuff to get done.
Gift returns
First on the list: Gift returns. There’s always that horrible sweater from your great aunt you just have to return. How did she manage to go to Zara and pick the only ugly thing in the shop and think you’d like it?
Meeting the other side of the family
Couple goals: In-laws time! If you were lucky enough to spend Christmas Day with your folks you’re probably in for a fun packed day with the in-laws. It’s still acceptable to drink at 10am today, isn’t it?
Panto season!
Theatre buffs: It’s Panto baby! No matter which show you’re heading to, you’re in for a world of laughter, flamboyant costumes and a few political puns that will rock your socks!
Lazing about
Fat pants needed: Send more turkey! If you’re not up for anything this Boxing Day, pack a doggy bag from the leftovers of Christmas lunch and stuff your face in your sweats until New Year. Sounds decent to me.
NYE prep
New Year's Eve: it’s almost here! You’ll need all the time in the world to plan NYE! And now that Christmas is over and you’ve exchanged that horrible sweater for a fabulous evening dress, all you need to plan is the taxi, pre-drinks, dos and don’ts for the party, the after-party and your Instagram theme for the night! Simple.
Boxing Day is there to be used so don’t head back to work - take some time to digest yesterday’s lunch and drink some more mulled wine! It’s still Christmas (kind of).
