Boxing Day, observed on December 26, is celebrated after Christmas Day.
Boxing Day was once a day to donate gifts to those in need, but it has evolved to become a part of the Christmas celebration.
There have been varied explanations of the origin of the day and the reasons the day is celebrated across the globe.
1. A Tradition of Giving
The name “Boxing Day” is believed to originate from the tradition of giving “Christmas boxes” to servants, tradespeople, and the less fortunate. During the 19th century, wealthy families in Britain would present boxes filled with money, food, or gifts to their staff and other service providers as a token of appreciation for their work throughout the year.
The day after Christmas was chosen because servants typically worked on Christmas Day, preparing feasts for their employers. Boxing Day allowed them to celebrate with their families and receive gifts.
