Whether you call it Stephen’s Day, Boxing Day or Monday, Suzanne Harrington reckons it’ll be a day of headaches.
St Stephen... the patron saint of headaches

Over here, we call it Stephen’s Day. This is after the first Christian martyr who ended up getting stoned the day after Christmas, and not in a good way. Trust us to attach the second most miserable image available — a fella getting pounded by rocks — to our festive lie in.

(The first prize goes to the one being nailed to a plank of wood, which we will be celebrating later on with supermarkets full of egg-shaped chocolate).
