Portable

Simply for unboxing of gifts gotten during the previous day which was Christmas day

It's simply a day people unbox the gifts they received on Christmas..More or less like a ritual

Punching gifts

Hmmm

The origin of Boxing Day is unclear, and there are several theories about its history. One widely accepted theory is that Boxing Day originated in the United Kingdom during the Middle Ages.

One explanation is that Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a "Christmas box" from their employers. The box often contained money, food, and other goods as a token of appreciation for their hard work throughout the year. This practice may have been a way for employers to show gratitude to their staff, and the term "Boxing Day" is thought to have derived from the custom of giving these boxes.

Another theory suggests that Boxing Day has its roots in the practice of churches opening their alms boxes on December 26th to distribute money to the poor. In this context, the term "boxing" may refer to the collection of charitable donations.

Over time, Boxing Day has evolved, and its significance varies in different countries. In some places, it is a public holiday marked by sales and shopping, while in others, it retains more traditional and charitable aspects. The precise origin may be elusive, but the tradition of Boxing Day has persisted and become a part of the holiday season in various cultures.

Opening of gift boxes gotten on Christmas day. Unfortunately, if you didn't receive any box of gifts yesterday, you have no box to open today

If it is for opening gifts, then it should be called unboxing day.

To unbox gifts

The West has imported almost every nonsense they own and we have foolishly accepted it, including glorifying their language beyond what it is and demonizing our own like it is less of language which gave birth to the nonsensical terminology called "Lingua Franca". Africans must embrace themselves, until then we will never grow

Has no base and sensible origin the same with Christmas celebration
