Not really about boxing, let alone boxing Saint Stephen. I just want to wish my friends who live where today is a holiday a happy Saint Stephen’s Day or a happy Boxing Day, whichever they prefer.
Here’s a post on About Food called What Is Boxing Day and How Did It Get Its Name? It has links to some luscious-looking recipes.
And here’s a post about Saint Stephen’s Day and what that’s all about. Looks kinda creepy to me.
And here’s a song from my very most favorite winter holiday album, The Christmas Revels: In Celebration of the Winter Solstice.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Invent a holiday pursuit that used to be ghastly but no longer is.

December 26, 2014 at 7:28amI’m glad I still have some smashing holiday memories. Er, was smashing the wrong word?
Anyway, ALL those great memories were courtesy of my dear Mom, bless her heart. BEST SANTA EVER!
