It's the day after Christmas called Boxing Day because it's the day you open the presents (or so they reckon). Santa brings them Christmas day, boxing day you open their boxes. It's mostly observed as being a "day" in Anglicised, Christian countries.

Believe it or not, I've actually heard of Boxing Day. I think I have one of those culturally sensitive calendars that lists like almost every holiday from almost every culture, country and religion on the planet.
Can't wait for Rosh Hashasha or whatever.

Yeah, of course I've heard of Boxing Day before! It's the day after Christmas! But since it was a Saturday I wasn't aware that there was a holiday for it on Monday.
Ha yeah, I have one of those calendars too. What is Boxing Day exactly anyway, does anyone know? I've always known it is the day after Christmas and such but I've never actually known what it means. |

I think the origins of the day had something to do with boxing up your old toys for the poor after you got all new ones for Christmas. Essentially it's like Christmas Day for the poor and downtrodden.
