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 ;)

The day is finally here! Wishing our readers the most wonderful holidays and a peaceful Christmas full of family, friends and joy.

It's time for my favourite pumpkin oriented holiday once again! I love Halloween, a celebration of light and autumn colours and a time to show our creativity by carving lovely lanterns. Of course it's also a time for trick or treating (which we might be a bit old for) and scaring each other to death, but personally I like to stick to candied apples and designing the best pumpkin of the year.
