BONO'S BOXING DAY BLISS
It seems we all have annoying family holiday traditions. But celebrities can be just as bad. For U2 frontman Bono, Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) means a trip to the races.
The "Vertigo" singer took his wife, Ali, and four children to Leopardstown in Dublin, Ireland for the yearly event.
And they were in good company. A reported 18,000 spectators were in attendance for the annual St Stephen's day meeting. In addition to racing, another favorite Boxing Day activity is hunting. There were 300 or so hunts in England yesterday, despite a ban on the sport back in 2005.
2007 marked 25 years of marriage for Bono and his wife, and the happy family looked to be enjoying their yearly tradition. Of course, when your dad is one of the biggest rock stars of all time, everything has to be cool!
