Repost - pattern #1552 - Fantasy for men - working with Fur

It's the day after Christmas ... I have house guest and thought I would post a re-run blog. If NPR can do it, why can't I?

I thought of this one, because I saw a certain movie yesterday ...

And you have to admit, Simplicity got some pretty handsome models for these costumes.

Happy Boxing Day ....

p.s.  Does anyone know why the day after Christmas is called Boxing day???

And I never knew that it is also "the Feast of Stephen" as in Good King Wenceslas.....

It is called Boxing Day not because they are fighting anyone...but because they are boxing up everything after Christmas? I think someone from Ireland told me this... ?? :)

My grandmother is British and she always told us it is because the rich would allow the serpents to box up the left overs to take home to their families.
