Christmas Day Game.

It's like a slap in the face when you have to work on the Boxing Day... Not fun.

Is there a shittier holiday than Boxing Day?

Family Day

Family Day

True. The holiday that a huge amount of people who work still have to work (the employer will give you a day off at some other point to fulfill their obligation), but their kids have the day off school.

No idea, my Boxing Days always look like this tho...

You mean the day you're hungover but still off work, it gets quieter with good movies, sports on tv? Mix in a few more drinks with the relatives still kickin around? Oh, and leftover turkey buns??

Yeah, pretty much every holiday is not as good as boxing day. Boxing day is the reason it's a 4 day weekend! The reason we have the 27th off randomly! I will stand and fight for boxing day!

Christmas eve is your too perky mother in law! Christmas is your overbearing mother! New years eve is your bad influence friend! New years day is your annoyingly perfect friend! But boxing day..boxing day is your cool ass uncle!

Come on dude! Christmas Day games are fun! Well, at least it's a tradition for me. My fam always watch NBA games during Christmas party. (Not really surprising tbh..My dad is crazy basketball fan + Raps season ticket holder since.. '99 lol.)

I'm still in the UK though... My mates hate basketball, but missus loves it. So here's to really great games on Christmas Day!

I'm with KC, I don't really care anymore. While it would be great and all, I'm all over the place that day visiting different cities and houses that I likely wouldn't be able to watch it in peace. Nobody in my family watches ball, that includes 4 brothers-in-law, and even if I did have it on they'd all be like "Oh come on, can't you just miss one game?". I'd be like "hell no, this is the one game EVERYONE is watching". Seriously people, I ask to be left alone during my Raps games which takes up about 205 hours every year for the regular season. Is that too much to ask out of 8760 hours in a year(excluding leap years)? 2.3% of my life is not too much to ask for some ME TIME! *end rant

Unless you made plans with your wife's family without realizing your Dallas Cowboys play a very meaningful game that night. Then it fucking blows and you're looking for any excuse to slip out of an already-paid-for-by-them $100/ticket dinner party. FML.

Same here. Family I'm with on Christmas day have no interest in NBA basketball, I never watch the games live but sometimes catch up on the good ones later.

We're (I'm assuming) Canadians, it's rare to have family that gives 2 shits about basketball. People in mine are like "oh shit world Junior hockey boxing day" and I'm like "uh lowry v Lillard in portland" and they're all like what...

That's why I love RR. I have many friends that love sports, but their basketball knowledge basically extends to the tsn sportscentre clips in between nhl and nfl

I think my family takes the blue ribbon for disinterest in sports. Was over at my brothers' house, along with my parents, during the 2010 Olympics. That day happened to be the gold medal hockey game (you know, the Crosby OT goal), and I spent the afternoon in my brothers' living room (which had no TV) discussing various topics, but not once did the Olympics etc. come up.
