Those who are from Canada, England, most likely Australia and
New Zealand is familiar with Boxing Day.
It is celebrated the day after Christmas. The tradition is
servants who were not able to partake in opening presents on Christmas day did
so on Boxing Day.
My mother celebrated Boxing Day for many years since she grew
up in Canada. She would invite friends every year for dinner. She would make
the meal herself. Finally at the age of 92, I believe anyway was the last year
she did the tradition. She felt it was for her to spend the day cooking the
dishes she served was hard to do anymore.
I recommended that she would continue the Boxing Day dinner
by those she invited each brings a dish. It was so important she does the cooking
she decided to stop having friends over on Boxing Day. It was sad she had to
discontinue the celebration of Boxing Day; however, I understood how important
it was to as well for all those years.
So I want to wish everyone a wonderful Boxing Day. It would be a great way if you could start a tradition by inviting friends over for dinner on
Boxing Day.
