        Fun fact: it got known as boxing day because of all the Christmas gifts given and opened on Christmas day all around the world, leading to the most number of empty boxes the next day.

          That kind of makes sense? Wouldn’t box day make a bit more sense? Boxing day sounds like everyone puts on some boxing gloves and just goes at it

          I heard that’s a recent back story and not the true origin, which is still unknown

          I always heard it was called boxing day because it’s the day you start boxing up all of your holiday decorations (which isn’t even true since most families keep the tree and stuff out for a few days after.
