Boxing Day Details
February 17th, 2012 at 7:08am
Here in the US we don’t celebrate Boxing Day, although we hear bits and pieces about this funny little day around the holidays each year.
Boxing day has a long history. It used to be a day when wealthy people in the UK would give a box with a gift to their servants. Nowadays, it is a public holiday landing on December 26 (or the first or second weekday after Christmas). Countries observing boxing day include the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
