It’s Boxing Day!  
Be sure to rotate your spoons and put out some tuna salad for Gef the Talking Mongoose!

Turkey soup on the hob. No obligations. Definitely not going to any Boxing Day sales! Just the post-Christmas relax.

Same here. Spent hours cooking Christmas dinner last night. Today just eating the copious leftovers, relaxing and sitting by the fire. May watch WW84 on HBO max later.
