Relaxing on Boxing Day

Another lovely relaxing day which has been spent mostly watching old films and playing the piano. I love Boxing Day – all the stress of preparing for Christmas is over and it really is a chance to relax with no extra pressure to be ultra-cheerful and chirpy just because it is Christmas (which usually means that I’m less likely to be grouchy because I’m not feeling under pressure!) Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas itself but sometimes it just seems that it gets lost in a whirl of preparation and high expectations leaving everyone feeling just a little bit frazzled.
