A local man has finally reached the age where a carefree, slightly drunken, lazy boxing day is the best day on the calendar.

Hugo Sutton (31), says for the first time in his life he is most excited for the often over looked public holiday.

"The idea of having absolutly zero obligations to do anything at all really does make boxing day the greatest day of the year, I can just sip beer in my back yard for 8 hours straight and no one can say anything" explained the 31 year old.

According to Hugo, the day represents a rare pocket of time where society collectively agrees to stop asking questions. 

Shops are closed, emails are unanswered and nobody expects meaningful conversation beyond a polite nod and a clink of bottles.

While Hugo once looked forward to the lively holidays of NYE, Halloween and Christmas, he now longs for inaction of boxing day.

His boxing day schedule reportedly includes a late wake-up, a slow migration from bed to couch, and eventually to the backyard, where he will rotate between a chair and the esky.

He described the mood as peaceful, calm and completely guilt free.

By the afternoon, Hugo had settled fully into the backyard chair, content in the knowledge that nothing else was happening, nothing else was required, and this was exactly how the day was meant to be.
