LaPetiteSoeur Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 [quote name='CatherineM' timestamp='1313958753' post='2292848'] We're having our Christmas party on Boxing Day this year instead of Christmas Eve. Everyone is invited for breakfast before going shopping, or for brunch. I'm making buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. [/quote] Biscuits and gravy are so so so so delicious.

MargaretTeresa Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I thought Boxing Day was always the 26th of December... Something in a history text about it being the day the servants were given off or partially off and they were given boxes of leftovers from the Christmas dinner... Or maybe I just made that up...

It makes it sound SO much colder! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Boxing Day *is* always on the 26th, however, if it falls on the weekend, the Bank Holiday for it will be on the following Monday or Tuesday (depending on whether Christmas also fell on the weekend).
