Lanelle is on a distinguished road
Once your temperatures are pretty consistently cold, and the deciduous shrubs have lost their leaves,you can prune them. The boxwood should not be sheared. It can be 'plucked' or hand pruned, and the prunings can be used in holiday decorations. The yew seems like the most likely to try to break new growth, so I'd do those last.
