A traditional holiday over here, although the origins of why it is celebrated and what is celebrated no one really knows. One thought is it was made a holiday for servants to celebrate since they had to work on Christmas Day. So they would then open their boxes the day after. Another thought, per a British friend of mine, it is a day for everyone to recover from hangovers and watch Football on TV.
For our Boxing Day, we went to River Lark in Mildenhall to feed the birds and take a lovely stroll along the river. However, while we fed the birds, the stroll never happened...instead the Perils of Driving in England happened.
