I believe that the poll options here are:
My son-in-law is from the UK and he explained that on Boxing Day we're supposed to have curry night. Who am I to argue with tradition? #BoxingDay
There is not even a poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart #SlowLife task today.
I strongly suspect that I won't be thinking of any for a week or so. But I shall have to re-commence filling in for the real task-master next year. Unless the real task-master proclaims some tasks, of course. (-:
Anyway, you all already know that on the 2nd day of #ChristmasTide the task is '2 AA batteries'.
Today we celebrate the wren.
When God told the birds of the world to choose a king, they decided it should be whoever could fly the highest (I guess the ostriches and penguins weren't invited).
The wren sneakily clung to the eagle's breast. The eagle flew higher than all the other birds, but then the wren darted out from under him flew just that little bit higher.
And that's why the wren is the king of birds.
The wren, the wren, the king of all birds
On St Stephen's Day he was caught in the Furze
Although he was little his family was great
So up with the kettle and down with the pan
And give us a penny to bury the wren.

My grandmother’s recipe (made by mom and me) including eggplant, onions, celery, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts, etc., served with my own homemade bread.
In Italy, #SantoStefano is the day following Christmas, December 26th. It’s the Feast of Saint Stephen, or #SaintStephensDay. #food #Christmastide
The #wren, the wren, the king of all birds,
#StStephensDay he was caught in the furze
Although he was little
His family was great
So up with the kettle and down with the pan
And give us a penny to bury the wren
If you haven't got a penny
A ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny
Then God bless you.
