What is Boxing Day?

Boxing Day is the holiday celebrated the day immediately after Christmas. Originating in the UK, it’s still celebrated across the world in former colonies of the commonwealth such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Despite its misleading name Boxing Day actually has nothing to do with throwing hands. The term is of British origin and the Oxford Dictionary traces its name back to 1833. While the original meaning is somewhat disputed, most believe it’s to do with the giving of “Christmas Boxes” filled with money, leftover food and small gifts to household servants and employees, who were required to work on December 25, in recognition of good service throughout the year.

However, these days, it’s recognised more as a shopping holiday than anything else. The Boxing Day sales are legendary for great deals on fashion, homewares, tech and pretty much everything else. As Christmas shopping is over, it’s the last epic sales spree of the year.
