Boxing day.

Boxing day ,is a day celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the 2nd day of Christmastide (Dec.26th). Thought it was originated as a holiday to give gifts to people in need - a Christmas Box. ( needed more today than ever!! ) but today Boxing day forms part of the Christmas Celebrations !
