 Why is it Called Boxing Day:  Arguments abound on the origins of the name Boxing Day. A ‘Christmas Box’ in Britain is a name for a Christmas present.  Boxing Day was a day off for servants and when they received a ‘Christmas Box’ from the master. The servants would also go home to give ‘Christmas Boxes’ to their families.  A box to collect money for the poor was placed in Churches on Christmas day then opened the next day.  Great sailing ships when setting sail would have a sealed box containing money on board for good luck. If the voyage were a success the box was given to a priest, opened at Christmas and the contents given to the poor. Boxing Day is a national holiday and another day to spend with family and friends and eating up the leftovers but its origins are steeped in history and tradition.
