Boxing day in Canada is a huge holiday when all the stores put everything on sale. It is sort of like our Black Friday. Since it is a holiday for everyone, we don't get much visiting in. So, the Merpaws invited us for dinner. They wanted to share with us their tradition of having "crackers" at the table:
Crackers look like a gift wrapped toilet paper roll. When you open them, they POP... thus the name.
Inside are little gifts, a tissue paper hat in different colors, and a cute little poem or question . Each person's is different. Of course... no food until we put on the hats... ugh....
We enjoyed a wonderful meal with Connie and Sheila and Sheila's son & family from Toronto.
Happy Boxing Day to all !
