My Dad and sister usually visit on the 26th of December each year, so we celebrate by having a Boxing Day brunch. After a busy Christmas Eve and Day, I like to keep the mood simple, but festive.

Keep it easy - simple glass stemware paired with white dishes and napkins look wonderful against the rough, natural look of the burlap cloth.
