"December 26th, is Boxing Day and is a holiday celebrated in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other Commonwealth countries. Boxing Day originated in England in the middle of the nineteenth century under Queen Victoria."
"A 'Christmas Box' in Britain is a name for a Christmas present. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a 'Christmas Box' from the master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give 'Christmas Boxes' to their families."
I think of Boxing day as after Christmas sale day.
Merry Christmas! Hope it is a lovely day for everyone - relax, eat food, watch a show, play a game, go for a walk together with someone... and if you open presents hope you get at least one thing you like! I got a Dr. Who tardis sweatshirt which I am going to enjoy wearing
