[Boxing Day] 

The day after Christmas where all the stores have sales. Boxing Day is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. In South Africa, this public holiday is now known as the Day of Goodwill. It is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society. Contemporary Boxing Day in many countries is now a "shopping holiday" associated with after-Christmas sales.

"Now that I am finished shopping for all my freinds at Christmas I am going to go boxing day shopping for myself!"

Boxing Day 

Thanks to Alexander V. Boxing, for holding the first “Boxing Day” Sale in his Montreal haberdashery December 26, 1818, the day after Christmas, thus creating a new Canadian Holiday Tradition.

I’m going out for some great Boxing Day sales!

Boxing Day 

Big holiday on the day after Christmas in the United Kingdom and many of the Commonwealth countries. Boxes of gift items and money were distributed to one's servants or employees--probably the origin of Christmas bonuses.

On Boxing Day in the Middle Ages, the Lord of the Manor gave boxes of tools, money and other things his serfs needed to do their work in his lands. Today, boxes of clothing and food items are given to the needy.

Boxing day is the day after Christmas Day, when the English sit in boxes and box.

Boxing Day 

Originating in the United Kingdom and spreading through the commonwealth countries, Boxing Day is a holiday that extends all the way from the Medieval period when the Lord's serfs were still barred from partaking in the royal Christmas festivities. While Christmas Day is usually spent with family members and often is a very spiritually centered and wholesome time, Boxing Day is the more secularly celebratory day of the Holiday season wherein celebrators gather with their close friends (and perhaps some lingering family members) and get hammered in the spirit of Christmas. So hammered that several drunken boxing fights are known to break out between friends and family members, people whom wouldn't usually be partaking in drunken boxing let alone the act of getting wasted together.

"Man, it's Boxing Day! Let's go out and get schlammered in the spirit of Christmas!"

"Dude... I just celebrated Boxing Day yesterday, I never thought I would get wasted in front of my Grandma..."
