Skip Christmas......Celebrate Boxing Day

Hello dear readers.

I LOVE Boxing Day. I love it so much that I have come to the decision that from now on I will skip Christmas and do Boxing Day instead.

Why? you ask.

Simple. We had a party today and it was just wonderful. Just a group a people sitting around a table having dinner and good conversation; politics, religion, travels, education, hobbies and just about any other subject you can think of was talked about.

We did the dinner in traditional British style; leftovers redone. We made a Shepard's Pie, vegetable soup, had pears with a Stilton filling and petite quiche for appetizers, and served mince tarts and a cheese board for dessert.

It was quite simply one of the best days we've had this year. And just think about it; don't have to worry about presents or cards; the food you have is food you already have and you get to open your home to people you want to share it with.

So for all of you dear readers who think the cesspool that is known as Christmas is way too over-the-top, skip it and do Boxing Day instead. I think you'll enjoy it.
