Second Day of Christmas

Today was back to work, which reminded me of why I missed celebrating Boxing Day. You shouldn’t have to go to work the day after Christmas. Luckily, I had plenty to keep me busy and the day went quickly. I also got out for a walk and saw bushes that were absolutely laden down with red berries, very festive.
