What are you waiting for?

Snowless woods x sun³ + 9ºC - 30mph wind gusts - idiots with off-leash dogs + 2 boyfriends I haven't seen since March = extreme happiness.

I quite like the idea of Boxing Day but it does sound like it may have evolved into something akin to Black Friday in the USA. I'm sure there are scores of folks who still honor its intended meaning, though. Here, boxing day unofficially means packing up all the gifts that you didn't like or that didn't fit and returning or exchanging them.

If you paid me a million dollars and promised to cook and clean for me every day and give me a massage from head to toe every day for the rest of my life, I wouldn't set foot in the shops today.

Roll on 2012.
