Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: canada steve on December 24, 2009, 11:58:44 am Happy Holidays to one and all. :)
Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: Gwommy on December 24, 2009, 09:31:45 pm Yes, Happy Holidays! And don't forget about Boxing Day! (Do you Canadians ever say Happy Boxing Day or anything like that?)
Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: Scott on December 25, 2009, 10:08:25 am Nope, there's no special greeting for Boxing Day. It's not even a statutory holiday, at least in the parts of the country that I'm aware of.
Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: CKorfmann on December 25, 2009, 08:51:24 pm I hope no one gets hurt on Boxing Day! ;)
Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: Tobias on December 26, 2009, 07:56:24 pm I had never heard of it, so I checked wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day
In sweden the 26th is called annandag jul http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annandag_jul ("the other day of christmas" - lousy translated). It has no real significance other than being a holiday. Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: canada steve on December 28, 2009, 11:48:44 am Its St Stephens Day really. Boxing Day relates to the medieval when they actually let the servants have the day off !!!!
Ontario is the only province that recognises Boxing Day as holiday. Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: Bixby on December 30, 2009, 12:35:50 pm The best of the holidays to everyone here. My 2009 was filled with lots of boardgaming goodness, and 2010 will hopefully be similar:

Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: Whaleyland on December 30, 2009, 02:58:30 pm I got Dominion (I already had the Intrigue and Black Market expansions) so now I can have some domination fun! I am quite surprised that the game made Game of the Year, though, since it really lacks any theme whatsoever.
I also got my girlfriend Drakon, but have not yet played it. Anyone have any experiences with that game? Title: Re: Merry Christmas Post by: Tobias on December 30, 2009, 07:16:33 pm I also got my girlfriend Drakon, but have not yet played it. Anyone have any experiences with that game? Drakon is a great game with badly written rules. There are still things I do not onow how to handle after many many plays. Nothing that can not be house ruled though.

I especially like the photos of the D20 dice, the Fluxx game and the clay pigeon shooting. Gotta love the glasses too! 8) The game room looks great and seems like you had a great year. Hope your 2010 is equally blessed!Here is to a healthy and happy 2010 to all my virtual friends... |
