Or Boxing Day, whatever you prefer to call it…
Christmas Day has come and gone.
The wrapping paper all stuffed into the bin, an ungodly amount of turkey left to eat, and a hangover you can’t quite shake.
At least there are a load of class films to watch on the telly today.
Here’s our guide to all the best films on TV this St Stephen’s Day…
Kung Fu Panda 2 – RTÉ One – 12.55pm
Everyone continues to be kung fu fighting.
