Actually, it started in England with the rich. The staff got the day after Christmas off and were given the boxes from their employers presents.

The definitive answer re Boxing Day is as follows. In years past once Christmas day was over the retail stores placed all their displayed stuff back into their boxes and stored them away til next year, thus the name Boxing Day. Of course we have no understanding of this as our ‘after Christmas’ sales will be going on until June or so. Mike the Canuck.
