Today is the fourth day of Christmas. Here’s the final Christmas card from my recent winter vacation in the Cotswolds. This post was first published on The Travel Memoir.
It had not snowed in the Cotswolds for a few years now so it was a pleasant surprise to see the neighbourhood blanketed with snow when we woke up one evening.
As a result, we got to see a side of the Cotswolds not usually experienced by tourists – a winter wonderland of charming cottages nestled in a snowy landscape.
Today is the third day of Christmas. Another Christmas card from my recent winter vacation in the Cotswolds. This post was first published on The Travel Memoir.
May peace be with you and your loved ones Always.
In the photo is one of many charming cottages we admired during our tour of the Cotswolds in the UK this winter.
It’s Boxing Day and the second day of Christmas. Spare a thought for those who have been of service to you.
Boxing Day is a public holiday in many countries celebrating the day after Christmas.
According to Wikipedia, “though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to poor people, today Boxing Day forms part of Christmas celebrations, with many people choosing to take advantage of Boxing Day sales”.
The Oxford English Dictionary gives the earliest attestation from Britain in 1743, defining it as “the day after Christmas day”, and saying “traditionally on this day tradespeople, employees, etc., would receive presents or gratuities in the form of “Christmas Boxes” from their customers or employers.”
Here’s wishing everyone who celebrates Christmas a very Blessed X’mas!
May peace be with you and your loved ones in this festive season.
Fans of Harry Potter must visit the House of MinaLima (in the Christmas Card above) when you visit London.
