December 26, 2015. Madison, Ms. Boxing Day.

Boxing Day is useful  after the hectic activities of the Christmas Season.   For the children, using the new toys is the most important activities.  And the adults have time to delve into their new books.  I don't know if this really true or not but we have always felt that Boxing Day was the day spent with friends while Christmas was devoted to family.   We often spent Christmas with Dave and Irene in Ancaster.  My sister always rented a skating rink on Boxing Day,  and invited family and friends.  Our boys learned to skate with all the relatives helping them along.  It was a pleasant day.

David and Suzanne and the Texas girls drove to New Orleans today on Boxing Day.  Tonight, they ate a delicious dinner in the French Quarter.  Tomorrow they will tour Tulane University, and poke around town.  The next day they will drive to see us in Jackson.   We are looking forward to seeing them and are delighted they are coming for a visit.

Today, our Boxing Day was taken up with stopping by our Jackson friends to say Merry Christmas.  We stayed a short time but we enjoyed our visits.  Our friends in Jackson are loyal and helpful and Ken and I wanted to let them know how much we appreciate their friendship.  We liked our Boxing Day visits.
