After the Storm
In Aryaland, and other countries of the Commonwealth, we have this day after Christmas called Boxing Day.
"A 'Christmas Box' in Britain is a name for a Christmas present. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a 'Christmas Box' from the master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give 'Christmas Boxes' to their families."
Today this day is more associated with lying on the couch recovering from the excesses of the day before, lying on a beach for the same aforementioned reason, or attending the Boxing Day sales that seemed to have taken over what used to be a family day.
So, what am I doing?
I am sitting at home enjoying the quiet and the sound of rain on the roof. It has been so hot and dry here that no one seems to be complaining about a day inside with the rain soaking the parched land outside. Well, maybe there are frazzled parents, but that is what movies are for.
I am also chilling in SL with a good book. Ah, the serenity.
