What was Christmas like for you growing up? Did your family have any specific traditions you always looked forward to? What would you typically have for Christmas dinner? Did you have a special dessert/treat of some sort that you now associate with the holidays? 🎄🎁✨
When I was growing up, we'd wake up to a stocking on our beds that we could open as soon as we woke up. Which had lil stocking filler gifts etc in from santa. And then we would get ready for church. We'd go pick up my nonna, and go to the Christmas Mass that morning. Then go back home after and mum would start cooking the Christmas meal. We'd have music playing and we'd open the gifts that were under the tree from mum and dad, any other gifts from family members sent to us. And also more gifts from santa haha (obviously all by mum and dad but we saw them as seperate because we didn't know any different haha). Then we'd have the Christmas meal, and relax, or play games etc :). Usually my older siblings would travel down and spend it with us, or come down on the boxing day to spend it with us. And we'd have more gift exchanges.My dad was also a part time DJ so every Christmas was party time to the max haha. Lights, lazers, bubble machines, you name it haha. And then again on new years :). I have many lovely memories at Christmas growing up.

🎄 We’d pretty much do the usual stuff. We had a fab 1960s plastic tree with lovely old psychedelic decorations (pictured). 🐓 We had the usual xmas dinners (on xmas day and boxing day). It would always be chicken rather than turkey, I don’t think my parents were that keen on turkey. In later years the chicken was always bought with the annual xmas meat voucher I got from work. 👵 👴🏼 We’d have one set of grandparents for xmas day and the other set for boxing day. 🎁 We opened our presents first thing on xmas morning. ⛪️ We then had to get dressed up to go to church which I never liked having to do.
Yeah there are some odd regional traditions. 🔔 In Dewsbury they start ringing a church bell (the bell that Black Tom de Soothill once presented the church with as penance for murdering his servant) at 10am and therafter once for each year since the year 0. This must be a nightmare for local residents. 🏰 From Clifford’s Tower in York they hang mistletoe, if a woman stands underneath it it means she wants to be kissed by anyone passing by. (You’re still allowed to fire crossbows in York by the way, providing that you’re shooting at a Scottish person. Conversely, 45 minutes away in Hull, crossbows have been banned since the 1500s.) 🎼 In Dungworth xmas carols are only sung by locals in a local pub ever since carolling was banned in churches hundreds of years ago by Puritans. There’s also a local pub we used to go to for meals (its name escapes me, I think it’s in or near the village of Goodmanham, where a Temple of Odin lies buried beneath the local church) that does public carolling in the pub, and I wonder if this is rooted in the same tradition. Furthermore, the Yorkshire villages of Castleton, Oughtibridge, Bradfield, Ecclesfield and Worrall all have a 200 year old tradition of pub carol singing, and all have their own Christmas carols unique to that village. 🐴 Every Christmas Eve in Richmond marketplace a person wearing a horses head is sung to by a group of huntsmen who then ‘bring it to life’ with hunting sticks and a horn. 🌞 In York Every 21st December (usually the date of Yule or the Winter Solstice) the Sheriff is accompanied around the city by the York Waits playing music. The procession ends with a speech at the Mansion House. 🐠 On Boxing Day at Flamborough Head, eight fishermen perform a sword dance on the high street. 💈 On the common land of Beverley Westwood at Solstice Dawn or Dusk (winter and summer) , local Morris sides often meet to dance at The Black Tower, weather and other restrictions permitting. I have been to this myself, and danced at dawn. Beer and music is to be had in a local pub afterwards. 🍎 During the Christmas Day service at Ripon Cathedral, visitors and parishioners are each given the gift of an apple, a custom that began in Mediaeval times. ⚽️ In Scarborough on Boxing Day the 150-year-old tradition of Firemen versus Fishermen having a football (soccer) match on the beach continues. (I do not know if women can be members of either team, something for me to investigate). 🔥 On 31st December a Viking Fire Festival takes place at Flambrough, with fireballs and the traditional burning of a Viking longship, something that’s practiced in a number of towns in the UK with Viking heritage. 🦃 This year as you tuck into your turkey, give thanks to William Strickland, born on the Yorkshire coast, who brought the bird back to England in 1526. It became a popular Christmas food during the Victorian era. 🧀 for over 100 yers now, Yorkshire folk have enjoyed a slice of cheese with their xmas cake
ماشريت اخر مره في ٢٠١٩ ، وزحمه وقرف وطوابير عالفاضي. ومن بعدها صرت اي شي احتاجه او ابيه اشتريه فنفس الوقت سواء عليه عرض او لا ماصرت اقدر اصبر واجمع اشياء لمن العروض 😵💫. في ٢٠٢٠ احتجت لابتوب وصادف Boxing day وخذته بسعر حلو.
🎄 Back when I worked, my most recent jobs were in Higher Education and thus we were closed for a couple of weeks across the festive period. 🎄 In my job before that, I’d often take a few days off across Yule. 🎄 In earlier jobs still, I’d usually work on xmas Eve and just have xmas day and boxing day off, but I don’t recall it having much of an effect on my work. I think xmas eve itself was pretty easygoing.
Joder ye profesor de Kick Boxing, y tiene mas copas, medallas y cinturones q la ostia. Ostia q da paisano al suelo ya t lo digo yo, Fredo ye muy fino, admas siempre esta entrenando, no lo deja nunca, siempre esta en forma.
I’ve spared with work mate who was training for a fight, was cool. I stupidly had my guard down for a second and got bopped square in the nose. Whiplashhh 🤣 was cool
Nope... Sports like that just aren't my thing. I don't like to take part in physical fights, whether they're fake / sport or not. It's just not in my nature :)
Podczas pobytu w Grecji Leigh-Anne wybrała się do restauracji, gdzie została rozpoznana przez kogoś z obsługi. Nagle wyłączona została muzyka, a puszczono piosenkę 'Woman', którą Leigh śpiewa w filmie 'Boxing Day'.
You know like an essay is structured in a certain way... I like the structure of boxing.. Love a good uppercut and I like that elbows are excluded from being used
My khalu is retired fauji, He can’t do this. My bhai is the sindh champion in kick boxing, He can’t do as well. Mardangi ki bt nhi hai, dill ki bt hai🤧
Desde hace como 13 años y por periodos. Empecé con Karate, luego Kick Boxing y después un poco de JuJutsu tradicional. Dejé de entrenar unos años cuando salí de la universidad, pero recién en diciembre encontré un gimnasio de MMA y he estado entrenando Jiu Jitsu Brasileño y Muay Thai de manera constante. Estaba muy fuera de forma; mi primer día me sometió como 5 veces un pibe de 17 años xD Adivina quién soy o.o
1.Podczas premiery 'Boxing Day' miały na sobie takie same gorsety. 2.Perrie powiedziała, że Jade zawsze daje jej dużo wsparcia i że czuje się przy niej bezpiecznie. 3.Poszły razem do kina na "Piękną & Bestię".
well.. i'm used to control my rage cuz I'm practicing boxing and it's not good to let my rage stimulate my strength, as it may cause me and my opponent harm 😅😅

Nein, nicht wirklich. Heute ist ein Tag so wie jeder andere auch. Ich mache meine Wäsche, räume bisschen meine Wohnung auf und ggf. putze ich nochmal durch. Werde dann einen Nudelsalat machen, weil meine Familie heute grillen möchte. Habe eigentlich nicht wirklich so sonderlich Lust drauf. Nun ja und werde dann Zeit vor meiner switch verbringen mit Animal Crossing, so wie ich es die restlichen 4 Wochen getan habe. Vielleicht auch das Spiel Fitness Boxing 2 ausprobieren das ich mir erst gekauft habe. Ansonsten bin ich so ziemlich der langweiligste Mensch, den man finden kann. Mein Leben ist super langweilig und könnte auch nicht langweiliger sein.
It's not a dumb joke so.....Like I get Mike & I are playing around a little bit now but if you read it you can tell i'm being completely serious. Especially if you know me as a person. I'm normally not a violent person.
للاسف انا لما بغيب كل سنة وانت طيب مش معني كده اني مفتري وكده بس لو حاجة تستاهل اني فعلا اتضايق زي الولة الي كان بيتحرش في بت وبتجري منه والله ما سبته غير وانا ومعوره في وشه وسنانه بتتلخخ في مواقف مينفعش تتعامل معاها غير بالعنف للاسف أنا فعلا عنيف لاني لاعب kick boxing ومش مجرد هواي أنا بطل جمهورية فللأسف بعرف اضرب صح وبقوة كبيرة لدرجة اني كسرت فك لاعب مرة ومرة ضلوع واحد 💔
Chris Rock needs to apologise publically and then shut the fuck up. He's been harassing Mrs Smith for years, he got off very lightly in my view. Will lost his temper, which he immediately apologised for, but given his extensive boxing training I think he still showed incredible restraint by slapping Chris and not doing any damage (which Will is very capable of). Physical violence wasn't the right choice, but standing up to a bully always is.
Let me write to you in English, if you understand what is at stake, you can answer. If not, just don't worry. Why can't I write in Russian? because there is one inadequate here who asks for an intimate relationship. If I refuse intimacy, he, as inadequate, writes about "killing his parents", and about the fact that he is engaged in boxing. A person behaves quite inadequately, and because of this, I simply cannot write in Russian, because he always finds me, and if he doesn’t write some kind of vulgarity, then he will switch to personal insults and call you names in different ways, for example that you are pimply, even if there are no acne, that you are fat as a pig, and makes you dress like a prostitute, if you say that you don’t wear it, he goes on personal insults, although before that he hinted that he wanted a blowjob and other vulgar things that made him sick. I've seen everything in my life, believe me! this beast writes nasty things anonymously, he can’t write insults or say personally in person, because he knows what he can get in his terrible face, because I don’t think that this is a very handsome man who writes, he just shows off in order to increase his self-esteem and show that he smarter than everyone. And when you write to him in some foreign language, after that he gets dirty, because he cannot answer anything, because he is stupid and does not understand the language. Therefore, to be honest, I told a lot in my life. And told many inadequate who does not understand. But this frame is somehow inadequate and most likely with the first group of disability. Adequate, I think I wouldn’t call a thin one who wears size L, and wouldn’t call him some kind of scary, etc., if the girl looks much prettier than this one. This is life, and of course, sometimes you need to somehow survive with such people, because this person himself does not know anything, and at the same time he comes up with illnesses that do not correspond to me.
He practicado artes marciales desde qe era un neno, he hecho karate, judo, jiu-jitsu, boxeo, mma... Pero lo mio es el kick boxing, he competido y dado clases muchos años
Перед Новым годом , когда в Англии был Boxing Day в самом разгаре , после одного из туров , мне приснился сон …Я играл за Ливерпуль . Настолько реально , что ощущал вибрацию кричалок фанатов . Да ещё в нападении !!! Вся игра во сне , была в штрафной соперника . Сразу скажу , не видел ни Салаха ни Мане )Там блистал только я ) Я забил покер !!! И забивал просто великолепные голы , слёта , ножницами , рыбкой … чудеса творил короче , неимоверные )) Я забивал , трибуны ревели взрываясь .Но , не всё так прелестно было в этом сне . Каждый забитый мною гол отменяли !А всё потому , что в углу поля , возле флажка стоял болбой ( который подаёт мячи ) , противный на вид мальчишка и когда я наносил удар , он тупо бросал мяч на поле , из за чего гол отменяли . И после каждого отменённого гола , я смотрел на него , а он на меня . Не знаю о чём думал он , но я думал : сучёнок рыжий , свали и не порти мой звёздный час !!))Я тогда проснулся с непонятным ощущением , с одной стороны восхищение и с другой огромное разочарование .
My interest are listed on my profile. My uncommon interest consist of raising animals, volunteering at animal and homeless shelters, wine tasting, collecting and making, archery, and boxing. I enjoy equestrian, frisbee, tennis and playing drums.
Hey! ✨I spent the holidays with my family. We swapped gifts, played games, ate a lot of delicious food and drank alcohol. My boyfriend came over for Boxing Day, so I got to see him too. I hope your holidays were good, and happy new year to you.
It is indeed! It was good thanks! Chilled and relaxing, I’m just relieved I have a day off tomorrow still, as I’ve been unwell today and yesterday. How was it for you?? :)
Usually it’s more of a laidback day than Boxing Day, just chilling at home, finishing the trimmings and everyone relaxes. In some ways, I prefer it to Christmas Day, as it’s less formal. I’ve been pretty unwell since Christmas Eve so it’s been a bit of a downer, but thankfully I’ve got a day off tomorrow still :)
Relaxing! Might read one of my new books! Also need to set up my new headset and stuff :) Gonna have a nice relaxing bath later as well! So just a very chilled out day!
Grazie ti scrivo di non perdere l inchiesta su Gianmarco Pozzi che comunque lui era di Ponza e sarebbe stato trovato morto. Pare che lui era un campione di kich boxing e io credo che qualcuno lo abbia ucciso e non che sia stato per una scivolata. Sau stavo pensando al fatto che lui aveva scavalcato un cancello per poi avere avuto un brutto incidente. Ancora non si sa come sia avvenuta la dinamica vere
🌸 Today and tomorrow I'm going to finish tidying and sorting! 🌸 Christmas Eve my family and I will be celebrating my grandad's birthday in his memory, which we do every year since he passed. I will also be seeing my boyfriend :3 🌸 Christmas Day, family time, presents, food, merriment! 🌸 Boxing Day, regret all eating decisions I made the day before xD 🌸 Then just chill til New Years :)

.... *thinks* Problem is I remember fragments of many Christmas'! But I don't know if some memories are simply me remembering watching them on our family videos! We use to go to my grandparents over the Christmas period, so I remember that! Same with the mini family reunions on Boxing Day! Though honestly I don't particularly miss those xD
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving so we don't have Black Friday in this country as it's American. But some retailers have stated to advertise sales on that day. Traditionally our biggest sales are Boxing Day and the beginning of January. Quite a few places are now doing Black Friday sales. 🙂
There are quite a few as it's the only time I ever see them. I'll watch the track and field events. I like the cycling and the swimming. The rowing and boxing is good too. 😊 X

Hm... la verdad es que no sé definirme de ninguna de las maneras. Nunca he sabido hacerlo. Quizá porque, aunque no lo parezca en ocasiones, soy una persona muy hermética. Veamos... a primer golpe de vista parezco alguien tranquila y algo ausente de lo que la rodea. Pero, soy puro nervio. Mi cabeza es de esas que no da tregua ni un solo minuto. Me gusta estar siempre ocupada haciendo lo que sea porque necesito llegar agotada a la noche. Soy bastante inconstante con mis pasiones.... Igual leo tres libros en una semana que no los miro en cinco meses. Mi deporte favorito es la esgrima, y me encantan el kick boxing y la danza aérea. Me pirro por aprender a tirarme en paracaídas y a escalar, pero por el momento no va a poder ser. Y hasta aquí te puedo contar por hoy. No estoy acostumbrada y me temo que mi mente se ha bloqueado.
I just wanna say this, I'm not a boxing fan at all,But this is one of greatest moments in sports history if you ask me, I've never seen anyone get punched like that and get back up, and it felt like he did it for all of us, everyone of us that struggles with mental health and suic1de issues, Not only did he get up, he finished the fight, and didn't even lose the fight. He rematched the man that knocked him down, and beat him twice, becoming world champion,So inspiring, this motivated me so much, I've gone through hell this year and Tyson Fury really proved no matter what mental health problems you have, you can achieve so much greatness💜Thank you everyone that supported me this year, I'm so much better now. Thank you
