On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a Two Turtle Doves.

Boxing Day. The day after the 25th of December wasn't lucky enough to share in the charm and magic of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day when it came to naming. I used to greatly dislike the name (it must have made me think of a boxing match and I suspect it got mixed up with Guy Fawkes Day somewhere in the wonderland which is a child’s mind), but I recently realised why it is called that and I must say, the day has greatly redeemed itself in my eyes. I’d like to share some of that Christmas Spirit…
