Boxing Day
Boxing Day | Christopher Jaymes
11 posts
Based on a true story, we follow author, Christopher Jaymes, as he exchanges his would-be vacation in for a six-week stint as an aid worker in one of the world's most tragic disasters. Upon his arrival in Bangkok, he was informed that a tsunami had devastated the west coast of Thailand and that the only hotel still standing was the hotel holding his reservation. A demystifying and satirical, yet astonishingly human commentary at the gut-wrenching realities occuring at a time where selflessness should flourish, but selfishness prevails. Jaymes leads us through an adventure of mental anguish while drug-infested degenerates and hallucinatory aid workers pull together in hopes to fulfill their dream of serving humanity. At the core of the madness, Jaymes examines the fine art of deflecting ego chatter and the innate fear of the unknown that most of us harbor in the depths of our souls.

1. Always a difficult choice but think I might go for The Forgotten Life of Arthur Pettinger by Susan Fortin.

2. Josh and Gemma the Second Time Around by Sarah Ready

3. No most probably watch the fireworks on TV.

4. Another quiet day after Christmas Day by the fire reading.

5. Been a very Grey Christmas, loves of cloud, rain and winds. Far too warm for snow - one of the warmest Christmas Day‘s I can ever remember.

TheAromaofBooks Your NYE plans sound very similar to mine 😂 Husband and I like to look at each other around 10:00 and say, Well, it's the New Year somewhere! and go on to bed LOL 12mo
Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks 😂😂😂 We always stay up for the fireworks from London but that‘s about it. 12mo

1. That‘s my open oven, being serviced by a guy that looks like John Goodman. He‘s my hero!
2. Hopefully things will sow down and I‘ll be able to read some.
3. Currently my feet are bare.
4. Bed, 2 nightstands, 2 dressers
5. Brisket!
