I hope everybody enjoyed "Boxing Day". I have never quite figured out what it is all about and every Canadian I have talked to says it is just a way to get a 2 day Christmas vacation.

I assume they celebrate it in OZ because it looks like Rob spent all day on Boxing day in his slippers and house coat making GMC posts.

And here I thought Boxing day was the day when kids fight over each others toys that they got for Christmas. Laughing

Marie and I are blessed to have had a 2nd chance to buy our farm.
Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.
Our 1970 Ultravan #520 has an Olds Toronado 455 in back.

No, boxing day is the day after Christmas, when the kids stop playing with expensive toys they received and are already bored with and instead play with the boxes they came in!
