Having to clean up after one who is sick on Christmas is even worse, especially dogs and cats. So sorry! But I agree with you about the days after Christmas. Usually my favorite time, coming down from that Christmas high.Vegas Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-52768643088077341652007-12-30T22:01:00.000-06:002007-12-30T22:01:00.000-06:00ug.

Sorry to hear your daughter got the flu. And ah yes, the recuperation. It always feels like we achieved something really great when we've made it through the holidays!

After a horrible night Thursday, she is doing better now... fingers crossed it lasts.<BR/><BR/>Irene: Yes, it's great being able to relax now. As a matter of fact, I have started my first digital painting using my graphics tablet. It's an input device for the computer; using a stylus (pen) on a tablet... it is great for artists who, like another blogger so eloquently put it, makes using the mouse like using a brick to draw. I am hoping to post some of my work in the future.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much, Jo!

Here is a link to the Wiki entry that explains its origins:<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day<BR/><BR/>Now it's simply a day for people to get up ridiculously early to go catch big sales at stores; similar to your day after Thanksgiving - Black Friday.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-89477312527057910902007-12-28T08:11:00.000-06:002007-12-28T08:11:00.000-06:00The days after are the best...a chance to curl up with my new books and read, listen to my new music, and just relax.Emhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14063254538593495040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-57032095140065974852007-12-28T03:51:00.000-06:002007-12-28T03:51:00.000-06:00Hi! Are all 3 cats yours? Is the top one a Himalyan? My fave cat... I thought everyone knew what boxing day was but maybe it is just a Canadian thing?

That's no fun at all. Do tell about Boxing Day. I've heard of it but don't know anything about it! Love those cat photos, even if they are obligatory, BTW! Happy New Year to you!
