So, today is Boxing Day. Very few people know that it actually originated in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Servants received gratuities from their masters, collected in boxes in Christmas day, sometimes in churches, and distributed the day after. Today we celebrated it with our Shackell tradition of Cold Meat and Chips. Or for the vegetarian I am (unless I'm travelling) cheese and a bread roll. After lunch the Shackell Skaters were on the ice rink at Castle Green. A stunning open air ice rink by the Castle. Hayden ran straight on the ice and found it funny to use people as a break. Dad was spinning around like Christopher Dean...Mum and I had little chance to fall becuase the side was out new best friend :)Happy Boxing Day
