HAPPY BOXING DAY everyone
Wish the day after Christmas was an official American holiday like in the UK. Who the hell wants to go to work?
I've lived with Brit culture for many years but never heard a definitive explanation for the origins of Boxing Day.
Yea, I know about super rich medieval folks putting their old shit in boxes for their servants who would always get December 26th off.
But I'm looking for a more acceptable legend for modern correctness

Re: HAPPY BOXING DAY everyone
It's the day everyone puts their unwanted Christmas gifts back in the box to exchange them at the store...

Re: HAPPY BOXING DAY everyone
If it weren't for the football fixtures it would be a day I would rather forget. Unless it as changed recently; Belguim, the country which make most of our laws don't recognise Dec 26th as a bank holiday? It used to be a normal working day if it fell between Monday & Friday!
Just to clarify; There is no public transport throughout the UK, unless of course, you happen to live in London! Surprise-surprise!
