    I admire your zeal in not going to work and observing Boxing Day. Of course, you were merely being observant and honouring a holiday that both Giles and Wesley observed.

    BTW, your post today cracked me up. In a good way!
    Holidayish hugs,

    Indeed! I join our favorite Englishmen in their traditional holiday.

    Festive hugs with an eggnog chaser to all!

    How's dimmer dog doing after the chocolate consumption?

    I enjoyed the DW Christmas special. The only spoiler I'll give you is that RTD is apparently on anti-depressants this year.

    I'm both horrified and amused that you forgot go to work today. Horrified, because 'forgetting' to go to work is one of my biggest unreasonable fears. Amused, because I spent all day trying to figure out what day is was.

    Dimmer Dog had a miserable night but was fine by noon the next day. Idiot dog. He'll do it again, too. He's been on a restricted diet recently for other medical fu (he's getting elderly), and it's turned him into a driven doggie. He got on top of something he's never managed to leap onto before to get that chocolate.

    My job is pretty unscheduled: I have a pile of work to do, and a beta date to reach, but otherwise I can be in the office to do it or not. My conscience will demand that I make up the day at some point. Probably the office was painfully quiet. Heh.

    Mostly unchecked due to:
    Forget to go to work on Boxing Day, even though it was not a holiday: oops.
    Except that mine goes:
    Learn on Christmas Eve that week long Christmas holiday is not in fact week long, but only two days :-(

    So nearly everything I was planning to do will have to wait till my annual leave, or until I quit. Whichever comes first.

    P.S.
    I love that you completely forgot to go to work. That must have been some Christmas evening!

    It was a bit, erm, late. And I did sleep late to start the day off. (Aside from a 5am wakeup call from a cat outraged to discover that the door was closed.)
