Did you have to go to work on Boxing Day?
Well did you? If so, was this the first time "for you"? Did it feel weird?

"Had the day off and didn't work" would have been my choice if it was there...

I had the day off. But these last 4 days have gone way too fast. Back to work today, already looking forward to my three day weekend next week and then Martin Luther King day on the 16th.

Missed that one too.
Note to self: don't set up polls in the wee hours, and carefully review poll options for scope/coverage.

Boxing Day? Isn't that a day were all British people are required to put on gloves and box each other in the streets? 
Well, I certainly hope you all win your Boxing matches.
