The day you box all your enemies in the ring
The day Jesus Christ completed 1 day on earth

Boxing day which is 26th of every December is set aside for sharing of gifts with our loves ones. Barman come over here where is the 2 dozens of Beer I asked you to bring for me.

The moment your mom gave u and your siblings chicken to share and you cheated on them coz they are junior and one decided to prove that he or she is not a junior by slapping and bitting you which accidentally leds to punches and blows flowing in the compound.

That is what we meant by BOXING DAY.

HOPE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?

What a daft question! Instead of creating a thread, you could have easily ask google. Such a shame that a Nigerian youth is asking a question of this kind in 21st century.

Mr Man, stop forming woke. Those of us that do not know the meaning just did and now we have adept insight on what the day means.

Had it been he decided to use Google, we wouldn't have known.

Holiday for Slaves or servants, errand boys etc to unbox gifts from their masters

The name is a reference to holiday gifts.
A 'Christmas Box' in Britain is a name for a Christmas present. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a 'Christmas Box' from the master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give 'Christmas Boxes' to their families.

In Britain, it was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.[5] This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.[6] This custom is linked to an older British tradition where the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families since they would have to serve their masters on Christmas Day. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts, bonuses, and sometimes leftover food. Until the late 20th century there continued to be a tradition among many in the UK to give a Christmas gift, usually cash, to vendors although not on Boxing Day as many would not work on that day.

You were almost correct.........
Except we don't eat meat on Boxing Day

Boxing Day got its name when Queen Victoria was on the throne in the 1800s and has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.

The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor.

Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters.

The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.

The day also has religious connections and is celebrated as Saint Stephen's Day in Ireland and the Catalonia region of Spain.

In some European countries - such as Hungary, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands - Boxing Day is celebrated as a second Christmas Day.
