Boxing Day, yes, its the day after Christmas and what have you done?
How is your Christmas going readers?
Talking of boxes, Its always fun to see what professional repro box makers have on offer. Here's a prolific firm, RETRO TOY REVIVALS, with a wide offer including these rare boxes and backings. There's even some Dr. Who!
I've never used this firm. Have you?
Have you bought a repro box or item readers?

Doing ? As little as possible. Mostly modelling and writing, my two favourite things.

We kind of do 'boxing day' in tandem with the unwrapping of presents. That is to say, once all the presents are unwrapped on Christmas Eve, we're already busy discarding the boxes by placing them in the recycle bin. There is one or two small boxes I still have to discard but generally speaking, today is 'chill day'!
ReplyDeleteSo you stick to the Heiligabend tradition of gifts Ed eh? Happy Christmas to you and yours.
DeleteWe have been following Bettina's family tradition since we got married. Normally we open presents during the afternoon or evening of Christmas Eve, but the granddaughter wanted to do it early Christmas Eve morning. When I was growing up, most of the time Santa came during the night and we opened presents Christmas morning. However, if plans were made to go to my sister's house then we would open presents Christmas Eve.
DeleteAnother visit to a VERY poorly Mum In Law, followed by recycling the cold turkey in a delicious, creamy, Pasta Alfredo.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that Mish. Thinking of you and your wife at this very difficult time.
DeleteOne of our acquaintances had a sudden bout of Pneumonia, we think brought on by a bad Christmas prawn! (a very Australian risk!) So yesterday I zipped around to her house in the Blazing heat and look her doggies back home for a sleepover!
ReplyDeleteToday is rainy and blowin' a gale, so it's about as different weather wise as it can get! At least we're not threatened with bushfires, like the people down south in Victoria!
Hope your mate is recovering Looey and the pooches enjoyed staying at Oz Base! Are they still with you?
