could you please enlighten me as to the meaning of boxing day? it sounds like a massive sporting event  |
Don't worry - it is just another "Swastika waving holiday for Christianss".. :roll:
Boxing Day
The day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. The term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients

The secular adoption of this day is in the form of tradesmen and labourers collecting "Christmas Boxes" of goodies from customers as they do their rounds - for example garbage collectors, milk men etc.
