Boxing Day Sewing, Candy Canes and Panto

and it sat hidden in the cupboards for years since I bought it in a garage sale back in the 80's. Always intending to do it but oh well, you know how that goes.

Still not quite finished (some pieces were missing), BUT ta DA! finished enough it can sit under the tree.  
Meanwhile outside on Boxing Day the candy canes dance in the trees as the snow and wind swirls around them.
I loved Boxing Day growing up in the UK. It was the day relatives and friends would visit and there was always more presents, food, sweeties,kids running amok, and watching cartoons or a pantomime on telly if we could.
