I love the concept of St. Stephen's day and Boxing Day as celebrated in Newfoundland and elsewhere. It extends Christmastide...and brings in the larger community. I don't do much regardless. Am I getting mumming mixed up with Boxing Day? I can't remember. About freaked out the first time I saw mummers at the door with lampshades on their heads..

I love to shop..I can't where I am now except for clam shovels and things like that..but I will be in Seattle this year and might get a chance to get to Sharper Image, Barnes and Noble etc...mg
