Had a lovely christmas day at home with my husband and children. We enjoyed a very special lunch of baked ham, salads and trifle for afters. After a much needed afternoon nap, the children and I went out visiting. We came home about 8pm and then played games and watched a christmas movie until almost 10.30pm, then it was time for bed.
Today is boxing day here in NZ. It's a public holiday and very much associated with after christmas sales. But historically it was a day based on giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society as well as being St Stephen's day (Stephen was the first christian martyr to be stoned to death in Jerusalem 34-35AD).
We always have leftovers for the next few days...
For those of you in the Northern hemisphere, Merry Christmas!
