Christmas without a doubt although it doesn’t quite feel the same without my beloved Sister

For many many years it was August Bank Holiday in London, always nice weather, reggae music, the smell of Afro cooking and burning weed.

Getting a bit old for it now.

It’s not the same day each year. But it’s the day of the Eastern Invertebrate Show. I always come home with several new T’s (Tarantulas) And often with several bargains.

Feb 2nd, Candlemas day, mid point between the winter solstice and spring equinox, dark days of winter are banished.

I used to celebrate the winter solstice. By then I was sick of the cold and wanting the days to get longer and tired of hearing about Christmas.

COVID changed that a bit. Christmas was more low-key and everyone stayed in so the temperature was less noticable under a heated blanket.

Besides that, I’m not sure of a single day that’s a favorite. I might have to make one up this year.

You don’t need to choose a special day Butterscotch, just wait for a really good one this year, and make a diary note to make it even better next year! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Boxing Day.

I love Christmas but I always think Boxing Day is so relaxed and fun.

Lots of lovely leftovers, time to enjoy your Christmas gifts, start on that new novel.

Lots of sport on the telly for the chaps, family popping in and out, lazy bath and shower with all those new goodies.

Catch up on the stuff you missed on the telly on Christmas Day. Do some of the Christmas jigsaw, play cards, nice walk and see all the children on the prom with their new toys

My cousins birthday is on Boxing Day so when we were young it was always over the theirs for Boxing Day birthday party. My auntie always did timers salmon sandwiches and jelly and ice cream

Boxing Day for me too.

Having had lots of children, Christmas Day was nearly always very stressful. This was mainly because l was so tired from all the work leading up to Christmas.

Boxing Day was always wonderful
 no stress of huge preparations. Just cold meats, mashed potato and pickles!
Pudding was what was left over from Christmas Day!
