Happy Day after Christmas, Bombers! It's finally over. No more in-laws (until the next holiday), no more worrying about what to give someone (just how to pay for what you got), no more fancy cooking (just eating all the stuff you did cook). Today, some of us go back to work. Today, some of us wish we had work to go back to. Today, some of us wish the damned noisy kids had school.
Today, life gets back to normal. Tomorrow, you need to start planning what New Years resolutions you are going to break in 2013.
Here's what Twitter has to say:
