Boxing Day

From ReGiftmas - The Holiday That Keeps on Giving

Jump to: navigation, search

Boxing Day is a Canadian and European variant of ReGiftmas. The name derives from the Anglo-Saxon tradition giving seasonal gifts to less wealthy people and social inferiors. Until their distribution, these gifts were stored in a "Christmas box", which was opened on December 26, when the contents were distributed. In the United Kingdom, this was later extended to various workpeople such as labourers and servants.
