Boxing Day




Today is “BOXING DAY” the 26th of December (the day after Christmas).

In England, where I served my first mission, Boxing Day is celebrated as a national holiday. It is the day that you give gifts to those that serve you. Such as the postman, the garbage man, the bus driver, the local policeman, etc. It is also the day that you clean-up from Christmas day. The day you “box things up”, today we had lots of things to box up.

Grandma and I had a great Christmas. We held our traditional family Christmas Eve dinner and program at the Bush home, with Amanda & Brady, Katrina, Carter and Tyler. We were joined by Becky & Ray, Lily, Gaby, Kaden, Kyle and Grandpa Mac. Also Megan & Ben, Thomas and Addie along with Elizabeth & Allen and Miles.

We are so grateful to have this time to get to know the “Utah tribe” and meet the sweet spirits that have joined our family. It has been especially fun to get to know Miles and Thomas. They cannot yet talk but “sing and swing” to music with gusto. It is obvious that they are “Saturday’s Warriors’ fresh from the throne of God.
