The Day After Christmas

The day after Christmas — or Boxing Day — doesn’t have anything to do with the sport of boxing, but it does have a lot in common with other sports. Here’s what we mean…

CHIC (Pearl)

For me, Boxing Day is a foot race to the stores to return doubled-up or unwanted gifts and to take advantage of deals that inevitably pop up the day after everyone opens their presents. Even if I don’t have anything to return or a particular item on my mind, I love the rush of a good sale and the flurry of people emerging from their holiday haze. Look for me at the mall the morning after!

GEEK (Kevin)

Recovering from an onslaught of family and feasting is more like a lazy game of golf on a Sunday afternoon. It takes a little time dragging yourself out of bed and getting into the swing of the game. But once you do, it’s all downhill from there. So maybe it’s more like going up a ski lift and coming down the mountain. As long as there’s hot chocolate at the end of the journey, I’m there.
