What do you do when your own family is on the other side of the world at Christmas..
..you pretend you're a part of someone elses family..also called Christmas crashing.
Both Christmas day and Boxing day(can someone please tell me why we call it boxing day?? No one seems to know..) were spent at a friend of a friend and family of a friend..free food(lots!), free drinks, and good company.. even a bit of karaoke in Chinese..what more can you ask for ;)
However I do want my next Christmas to be home with my own family and friends..
Jeg savner dere!
I'm off to the Beach
On boxing day in old times the rich used to wrap up the leftover christmas food in boxes and give it to the poor. A remnant today is when bosses give employees "goody bags" or "fruit/food baskets" for christmas. Thus: Boxing day! xxx
