Boxing day blues
Our neighbors north of the border celebrate Boxing Day, on December 26. In Washington, we only have the day after Christmas. There were shoppers in Downtown Port Townsend, but there was none of the holiday energy in the air. Returns and bargain hunting don’t offer the excitement of getting gifts. The weather perfectly reflected the mood, gray, wet and windy.
The Christmas trees had been removed from parking lots. Christmas oriented merchandise had already been demoted to discount tables. Life goes on.
