Since we have representatives of many nations and cultures in this community, I want to get your take on Boxing Day December 26.

Is it a thing for you? What are it's origins and what does its name mean?

I have long been crious, so please enlighten me.

And I hope your Boxing Day was a knockout.

I believe it originates from being the day the rich boxed up presents for the poor, masters gave servants gifts and house staff got the day off work to go home to family to give them gifts

Basically it was the staffs equivalent of Christmas day..... After all if you were rich you'd want your staff working on the 25th wouldn't you :)
