Some things are a battle with her, but curiously this was not. :unsure:

We had the family over for Christmas Eve. The grandkids and their parents were finished by 8 pm. It was always a tradition once the girls married and left home that they spent the Eve with us, had Christmas morning with their kids at their home and they then went to the in-laws for Christmas Dinner.

Hubby and I don't buy gifts for under the tree for each other. He gave me the plane tickets for my NY visit in January and I bought him his gift which was delivered two weeks ago. It would have been too big for under the tree.

Glad she was more than willing to wait. Not so my children growing up nor my grandkids today. First presents and then a special Christmas breakfast is the norm.

No snow. 75 deg and sunny. Saw the snow on TV though - very pretty.

We're doing this today as it's only a few blocks from our house and I'm intrigued to see what Americans think a traditional English Boxing Day entails...

Spoiler:
Turkey sandwiches, arguments over board games and dragging the kids out for an energetic walk in our case!

An English boxing day to me is being sat around all day watching soccer or another sport.

Which is what I'm doing now after being out to fill the propane tank for a nice steak. :thumbsup:

Christmas fell on a Sunday this year. Many business offices are closed today so in essence if you are an office worker you might well have Boxing Day off.

A purest would know that a medium rare steak is overcooked. :nod:

In the Pulaski household steaks are eaten rare. :)

Medium rare is for burgers. Rare steaks all the way - the rarer the better.

I grew up on well done steaks. My mother still likes it this way.

Suffice to say, when I was of the age to understand that steaks can be cooked to different levels I took over. :rofl:
