It's a lot about the food!


It's about who gets the last chocolate?
and who snaffles the last sausage!


We have a lamb stew for dinner today...


with maybe a glass of wine.


and a light dessert for afterwards.


Enjoy your 'Boxing Day' an English tradition, which harks back to the times when servants were given a Christmas box (present) and maybe allowed to go home and visit their relatives for a couple of hours.

I think we are celebrating Boxing Day here in California by having a quiet day. Thanks for explaining its origins, servants allowed to spend a few hours! with family. I thought you were going to say days. Thanks goodness there are some improvements in the world.

I am home sitting in front of the computer, hoping that things will settle down a bit in my little corner of the world. I appreciate all your comments, Star, and just knowing you are there helps a lot. :-)

Happy Boxing Day Star! Thank you for the explanation, I always wondered about the meaning of the holiday! I am excited that I got my Kindle for x-mas and the first book I downloaded was Bertie's House, of course! Can't wait to read to my granddaughter tomorrow! Brightest blessings to my favorite author! Love Wen

That all looks fabulous! I spent the day being lazy-a wonderful break for me. If it hadn't been for my dinner out with my girlfriends I'd probably not have gotten out of my pajamas.
