What do you do with your Boxing Day?

Once the festivities of Christmas Day are over and you realise that it's all over for another year, what do you like to do on Boxing Day (26th December, or whatever you know it as)?

For me I'm looking to maybe go for a walk, eat turkey sandwiches and watch whatever rugby and football I can find on the TV :lol:

Use my 🎁.
Chilling and chilling again - like the two days before too. Christmas days mean taking a rest. It is a distraction to everyday life.
We don't have anything specific that we do traditionally on boxing day every year.

This year I'll be driving my son to and from work, as trains aren't running.

Also my mam is staying at a nearby hotel as she spent Christmas with us, so I'll be picking her up and bringing her to our house in the morning (after taking son to work), and then my uncle is coming round to give and receive gifts. He'll also be taking my mam home.

That's about it I think.
Nothing springs to mind really. Most years we will eat leftovers from Christmas dinner, watch films, and catchup with any tv specials we missed during christmas day (still need to watch the new Wallace and Gromit film :gah: ).
Boxing Day is always Christmas mark II at my grandpa's house, seeing that side of the family and eating food, drinking his (very good) wine, playing games, etc.

We ate buffet food and watched the Gavin and Stacy Christmas finale and watched part 1 of Call The Midwife Christmas special.
