Every holiday, Jo from Serendipitous Stitching host blog hops. This is her Advent 2017 Hop.
We are asked to post a festive picture and answer a question. This year...."How do you plan to spend Boxing Day and any special traditions with this day."
Living in the USA we do not celebrate Boxing Day. I did check out what it is all about though. It seems that on December 26th ----
"the first week-day after Christmas-day, observed as a holiday on which post-men, errand-boys, and servants of various kinds expect to receive a Christmas-box". This box could contain a bonus and even food to take to celebrate with their families.
So, the day after Christmas has always been a quiet day to enjoy what we were to busy to notice on Christmas Day. We would usually have music playing and just relax and "pick" on the left overs ... no cooking no cleaning just relax. Of course before moving to the desert of Arizona there might have been snow to clear away when living in Rhode Island. Here we would probably enjoy a day sitting outside. One year we went for a hike on the trails of the White Tank Mountains wearing shorts and T-shirts. That quiet different for us coming from the cold climates.
Boxing Day is 23 days away.....what will you be doing?
For today I will finish my ornaments and listen to Christmas music...maybe Sinatra and Johnny Mathis and enjoy the package I received yesterday...I will show you tomorrow.
