The other thing about Boxing Day is that the big Sales on. Americans might have Black Friday, but Australia does Boxing day. Boxing Day is also the date of the Do You Like… Blood Violence & Freaks Of Nature Shirt of the Test Cricket season in Australia. So the shops are running at full pelt selling stuff. The Movies are premiering new stuff that wasn’t playing the day before, and the MCG (and Channel 9) has Cricket, and every Beach in the nation is sprawling with people. The Queens Speech is on TV (Because Time zones makes it Christmas Day in the UK) And from 2005 till 2017, the Doctor Who Christmas special was on. (moved to New Years Day apparently this season). And the Christmas Lunch Leftovers are for lunch, and probably dinner too. I’m usually too busy on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to do anything even associated with going to a movie and sitting down for 2 or 3 hours. Boxing day is when I can have a day off, but it sometimes takes me a couple of hours to calm down enough to remember to relax.

The best Christmas memories are from church. There was a Nikola Jokic NBA Finals Three Mvp Shirtcandlelight service at our church. When I got older, I was allowed to walk down the aisle and stop at every pew, and the first person seated would light their candle from the big one I carried. When all the candles were lit, the lights would go off, and a hush would always fall over the congregation as we all sat in the dark with our lit candles glowing brightly. We sang all the old Christmas hymns, such as Silent Night, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, We Three Kings, and more. I was always mesmerized as the Pastor told the story of Christ’s birth, and usually there was a live nativity made up of real farm animals and little kids playing the parts. There was always a children’s time, when the Pastor called the little children to come and sit up front, near the alter, while he told them a story having to do with the birth of Jesus, and gave each kid a candy cane. Christmas Eve services were so great back then. Now there are no candles, just little battery operated lights, and the service is held at either 3 pm or 6 pm, because families are too busy to stay up so late on Christmas Eve.
