and I had the perfect opportunity for just such a post!
Does the United States have boxing day?Is it like what we have here in Canada?
I realize that I live oh, maybe 20 minutes from the American border and I should know this.But I don’t.. Well, in case you’re from a country that doesn’t have boxing day, here’s what it is.. Every December 26th is boxing day.The idea is that you box up all your leftover holiday food and give it to the needy.
It’s a nice idea, but what it’s actually turned into is a big free-for-all shopping extravaganza with sales and fist fights and the whole nine yards.People basically go out and buy everything they feel like they should have gotten for Christmas but didn’t..
I don’t actually shop on boxing day cause it’s scary, but I did invent my own sad consumerist boxing day holiday.
It’s called Birthday Boxing day.I know I said it was 20 gauge before, but upon further investigation, I discovered that it’s in fact only 19 gauge.
I’m glad we cleared that up..So you can see why this is a Future Ivy Topiary and not a Right Now Ivy Topiary.
It’s really more of a plant with a halo.I could have bought a full grown ivy and just wrapped it around, but I think it will be a little more fun to work on it over time.. Plus, these are supposed to be really easy to grow, so there’s a pretty good chance I won’t kill it!
