Boxing Day is the day after Christmas, it is observed in Canada, UK and other Commonwealth countries. It originally was when wealthy landowners in England gave their servants gifts in boxes. Now it is a holiday and almost like Black Friday in the U.S. Canadians flock to malls to shop and spent their gift cards. Personally I steer clear of malls on Boxing Day. I agree with the original poster. I gave my nephews quilts for Christmas this year, they were thrilled and they are teenagers! I made my sister a table runner and I also sewed a few things for co-workers. I am already planning what I can sew for next year. I have only been quilting for about 6 months and I love it, there is something about giving a homemade gift that I enjoy. Tomorrow I'm off to a new to me quilt shop which is having 30% off all stock, so I hoping to get some fabric to start a new quilt.
