Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other Commonwealth countries. Boxing Day originated in the middle of the nineteenth century in England under Queen Victoria. Celebration includes spending time with your family and close friends with a lot of food, fun and presents. Boxing Day menu could include Turkey from the day before, served with potato vegetables and different trimming.
Boxing Day is called so because of the custom on that day for tradesmen to collect their Christmas boxes or gifts in return for good and reliable service. The tradition of celebrating Boxing Day includes giving money and gifts to charities or people in need.
Nowadays, Boxing Day is all about presents and shopping. While government buildings and small business are closed, the shopping malls are filled with people trying to get a bargain.
There is also an interesting Boxing Day charity event called The Boxing Day Dip. During this event people in fancy dress swim in the sea. Fancy dips are taking place in several places around Europe, but the largest is held by the Lions Club of Sunderland, England. Participants are expected to wear fancy dress and jump into the North Sea.
Have a Great Boxing Day ;)

What is Reclaimed Wood?
When virgin wood timber structures come to the end of their working life and being knocked down, then it is time for beautiful reclaimed wood to be rediscovered. Reclaimed wood has always been considered as a strong and flexible material.Reclaimed wood needs to be hand crafted into a working material first and kiln dried for anti-infestation. After those procedures the material is ready to be used for creating unique furniture and other interior features.
Why is it so Special?
Being made from recycled hardwood, reclaimed wood furniture has a softer, natural character with interesting patinas, knots and grains. Each piece of furniture is truly unique with its own history.
