We survived Xmas Day and it is now Boxing Day. Another holiday here in NZ. To the uninitiated Boxing Day (St. Stephens Day) is celebrated mainly in the UK, Canada, Australia, NZ and various other British Commonwelath countries.
In Oz it usually means the biggest Cricket match of the year at the Melbourne Cricket Gound and this year it is against India. Here it means what is now the biggest shopping day of the year as all the shops cut their prices. However people now realise that this is the day to buy which has meant an upsurge in Gift Vouchers.
The scene above is not us as once again the hot, sunny weather has returned.
Xmas Day we spent at my daughters. The rain only lasted for a short while, although it did turn a bit cold but by the late afternoon it was fine enough for us to take the four dogs for a walk -along with Kipp of course. A very nice day even though I was dismal at the Xmas Quiz.
Lots to eat, presents, Kipp, etc.
I suppose this cartoon sums it up for many.
