Boxing Day

Very interesting, Yolanda! I have never heard of boxing day before.

Wow.... I just learned something new Yolanda.  From your title I was thinking this was national boxing day or something crazy like that.  I really like your version much better.

I did not know that there was such a thing as boxing day. Makes you wonder which definition is really true.

Tips and savings were placed in a clay box during the year.  On Boxing Day, the box was smashed and the money could be used.

Enjoy the holidays with family and friends.

Hi Yolanda, I learn something new everyday!  Thanks for the info.  Hope you have a great weekend.

Yolanda,

Thanks for the description of Boxing day as I always wondered what they meany by that since it is a holiday in some parts of Europe.

Actually, Yolanda, we don't have boxing day in Germany but I do know it is a holiday in England. 

Shoot, I have always wondered where that term, "Boxing Day" originated.  I kind of wondered if it was born here in the malls of America, where it looks like shoppers are boxing their way to get the best deals on the day after Christmas:-)

Always have known about boxing day in Britain, used to date a Liverpool honey. But till you wrote this have never questioned the origin, just wondered thereon. Just went to Wikipedia and here is their wisdom

In Britain, it was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.^[3] This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.^[4] This custom is linked to an older English tradition: Since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts and bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.
