Boxing Week Coming To An End...

So, although other countries have started to have boxing day sales, it has been a tradition up this way for many, many years.  I don't know the whole history of it, but the idea was that after Christmas people boxed up things to give away, due to being blessed with so much more for Christmas.  We all know that the money makers like to capitalize on these kinds of things, so it was turned into more sales, meaning that people go out to acquire more things, rather than sharing with others.  We try to go through our things ahead of Christmas and ask the kids to choose things that they don't play with or would like to give to other children.  It's nicer to have things cleaned up ahead of time. We really haven't gone out shopping during boxing week, but have found this year that it might be a good time to pick up the vacuum and GPS.  Our Vac sounds like a helicopter and we've been waiting for a good price.  The GPS is something that we've been looking to get for our trip to Georgia.  So, we'll see if Scott wants to brave the cold, while I hold down the fort at home.  I'm thankful that I'm starting to feel well enough to help others now.    I'll save my 100th post and make it my first post of the NEW YEAR!  It definitely won't be 100 New Year's Resolutions:).
