Boxing Day 2023

Boxing Day means that Christmas is over and one must prepare for the New Year.  Boxing Day is also the day of amazing sales in retail stores and online.  The tradition of giving staff the day off the day after Christmas as well as giving them boxes of food and boxes of gifts (usually items that the household no longer requires) has been lost.  It is no longer a day of sharing with others - it is a day of accumulating stuff!

Some folks have traditions for Boxing Day such as seeing friends or relatives and eating up the left overs from Christmas Day.  Others use the day to go skiing or skating.  Some go hiking and if in the mountains, snowshoeing.  

Some of us take the day to rest and enjoy reading or watching a movie.

Whatever you choose to do, have a wonderful Boxing Day.

Blessings,

Judy

Christmas Eve December 24 2023

 

Christmas Eve is a special time for many people.  Families have Christmas Eve traditions that they honour - either ones they have created or ones that they have inherited.  Here are some of the traditions that different people have shared with me:

• Drive around and look at Christmas lights
• Go to Christmas Eve church service
• Go out for dinner with family
• Have family over for pizza and games
• Have family over for appetizers and visiting and games
• Deliver hampers to those that need them
• Go to Church service and come home and unwrap presents
• Go tobogganing with family
• Go ice skating
• Order food in and watch Christmas movies

Whatever your tradition is, Merry Christmas!

Blessings,

Judy
