Would one of my fine northern neighbors kindly tell me what Boxing Day is all aboot?



And people down here shouldn't call themselves "Americans" ... they should be called "UnitedStatesians", or how about just "Usians". Since Canada occupies more of North America than the U.S. does, that makes Canada more American than the United States, eh? ;) :p

The day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. The term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients.

Nowadays, we often see, in certain families, gifts (boxes) given to those who provide services throughout the year.

"Boxing Day" is listed in the Canada Labour Code as a holiday

The day after Christmas the stores box up all their items and sell for like half price.
