Boxing Day refers to both the day after Christmas day, December 26th, and the Public holiday which follows Christmas Day, should the 26th and 27th fall on a weekend. [Wikipedia]

Traditionally, this day is alloted for a sporting activity, i.e. fox-hunting but nowadays it’s either football, cricket or yacht racing. I understand that most women aren’t into sports but, hey, some are!

Here are a few ideas on what you can do or where to go on your Boxing Day date. Let’s start off with the more obvious ones:

• Go watch the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds — er, applicable for you guys who live in Australia. LOL.
• You can watch the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race — again, only for the Aussie folk.
• You can take your pick among the English and Scottish Football matches. Also, in Northern Ireland.
• You can also take part in the festivities of Junkanoo in Bahamas.

Now, for the DIY date ideas. Teehee.

• If your town celebrates Boxing Day in your own special way, take part!
• You can invite friends over for some beer and leftovers to watch them sporting activities on cable or a movie marathon of sport flicks. [Guys would love that!]
• You can host a barbie and play some backyard cricket [or whichever sport you guys like to play] with other couples!

If you haven’t considered making this day a special day, too, perhaps I’ve given you a few ideas to help you make it into one. Create your own special way of celebrating the day after Christmas with your partner. No one ever said the holidays end on Christmas day!

Enjoy your Boxing Day, people!

Date Idea: Spend Boxing Day Together

Alright. I sound like some bitter, heartbroken, sour-graping woman [there's a certain likelihood that I most probably am] but hear me out for a second. What would you do in my place if something like this happens to you?

Let me paint a somewhat clear picture for you. Fine. It’s going to be one of my “vague” scenarios but, hey, it’s an almost true story!

The guy you like finally declares his fondness of you but the thing is you’ve been real good friends for a bit now, so, it’s a little tricky to take a different route than that. [I know you guys know what I'm talking about.]

So, he asks you out on a real date. [It literally made my heart jump a little.]

Imagine yourself looking forward to it and wondering what’ll happen next when come that day, you get a rushed phone call with him asking you to be ready in half an hour because he’s on his way to pick you up since the two of you are sharing the night with another couple.

Oh, joy.

The night ends with him dropping you off first after spending almost half the night talking about business and work and the other half with how tired everyone is feeling, of course, a dose of conversation with the other couple. In short, no quality time together.

After that, you hardly heard from him again. Ouch.

Sweet, eh? The most romantic date I’ve ever been on in my entire life! [Please note the sarcasm.]

I’m sure you guys might be thinking, “Get a clue, girl. He’s just not that into you!” Believe me. I’ve already told myself that, like, a hundred times. LOL.

Anyway, I’ve been beating myself up the past couple of days just analysing what had happened. Trying to figure out what he’s thinking and piecing it together with what he had told me. I’ve heard some people say that it’s best to just drop it and focus on work, and others had advised me to give him the benefit of the doubt, he just may have a good reason for acting this way but I can’t help but be affected by all of it. Hell, it’s simply because I like the guy.

So, sod it. I reckon I should just join Gayla when she goes out shopping. I think I’m quite good with that. Teehee.
