Boxing Day

Boxing Day!  Boxing Day!
December 26 is Boxing Day

No punches were thrown.
No fighting was known.
No pugilists were seen, No referee to cry "Foul!"
We just put up our feet and threw in the towel.

With a nice covering of silent snow blanketing North Texas, and nothing in particular to do, my less than ambitious plans included nothing more than a dash to the woodpile.  The remains of our storm-broken peach tree and our surgically removed 40-foot Ash tree branch, were all cut into 30" logs and stacked next to the garage during the summer and autumn.  Now we were perfectly prepared for just such a lazy snow day as this.

Strike a match, set the fireplace ablaze, pull up a chair and do a little bit of reading.

A perfectly wonderful Boxing Day.

Stockings were hung with Care -
Now there sugary treats have been emptied
Candy for Breakfast!  It's Christmas!
