Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated on December 26, the day after Christmas Day. Celebrated across countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the idea behind the occasion is to encourage wealthy members of society to give gifts to the poor and to show their appreciation to those who had worked for them during the year. Traditionally, these gifts were believed to have been placed in Christmas boxes, giving the day its name – Boxing Day.
Other theories suggest that the name of the day comes from the post-Christmas custom of churches placing boxes outside their doors. These boxes are used to collect money for distribution among the poor. Over the years, Boxing Day has come to be an occasion for people to exchange gifts with friends and loved ones, or to participate in charitable giving.
Presently, Boxing Day is marked by people to unwind after the festivities of Christmas and spend time with their families and friends, participating in games, family meetings and social gatherings.
