I miss a tradition we had when I lived in Florida and was married to an English sailor. The day after Christmas is Boxing Day. We would prepare a huge breakfast brunch and invite all of our international and local friends along with any of their families visiting from out of town. It was a fantastic opportunity to get to know their families.

Our Christmas was waking to the stockings which held lots of silly or small practical surprises and lots of chocolate. Then we had breakfast after which it was gift opening time. Then all was picked up, gifts displayed in a nice pile, and fine outfits put on for the rest of the day. Dinner, usually turkey, was served in early afternoon. Family visited and/or played board games after that. Those were fine times... family is so scattered now
