Judging by the poll so far, a huge majority of those voting WILL NOT be doing so.

Smart group of people, we are.
that's because we're all chilled out and READING (or skiing if there is decent snow)

it's all the people that haven't discovered how good READING is for their souls! (or skiing if there is decent snow)

the way I understand it, (he didn't go far enough) the servants got this day as a holiday, having had to work on the 25th, someone even told me (this part I doubt) that some places went so far as a reversal of roles for the day.

it's my understanding that now it is a day for visiting friends that you are close to and exchanging gifts, after having spent the day before with your family.... ymmv (or go skiing if there is decent snow)
