what does boxing day mean? where does the name come from?

I hated boxing day! It was awful! Oh god don't let me go there again...

That was the worst boxing day...In fact anyday of my life.

WOOHOO, i went and saw the cricket......9:00am to 6:00pm, sitting there watching. MCG looks soooo good, i think by far the best stadium in the world. yes yes, i saw Ricky Ponting get a century very good. Would've been good to see Hussey get his today though, and the partnership between him and McGrath.

It comes from an incident back in 15clickty2 when Lord Ellesbury of Sandwich had a bare-fisted boxingmatch with his son on their estate, he having not shown appreciation of his present as it was "only a 20gig one".

Also: cos all the BOXES yer presents were in are now empty...no seriously.

Or maybe cos all the footies on, and Wayne Rooney looks like he should have to wear one on his head.

We call it St. Stephens' Day o'er here, though. Cos as Irish we have to have like 3 holy days in a row to pretend were not materialistic
