Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Hi Chrissy, If you can get here....you're welcome for lunch!! I asked the girl at the fish counter to remove head, tail and fins....don't want them, thank you very much!! The salmon is ish. Boxing Day? 26th Dec. I think it was traditionally the day for giving " Christmas boxes " ie, gifts, especially gifts of money given to servants by their employers. I must check the origin of the term but I think that's it. Nothing to do with boxing or wrestling but I liked your suggestion of boxing going on at the sales!! This year lots more stores started their " January " sales on Boxing Day. They used mostly to wait till 27th Dec! Some people were up at 3.00 am to get the bargain they had had their eye on since before Christmas. Boxing Day is also a great day for sporting events. For most families it's simply the second day of the holiday and they will visit, or be visited by, family or friends that they didn't see on Christmas Day. I've always loved Boxing Day.....it's still got the Christmas feeling but tends to be more relaxing. The holiday lasts all week for many folk. I expect it's the same in the US? I'm not very good on the mileage, without looking it up, but Yorkshire is only a couple of hours drive from Liverpool, or less, depending on traffic etc. Feel better, Chrissy, and thanks for encouragement about THE DECISION!!!! Best wishes, Fliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
