It's when Jesus returns to Earth to box Judas in the face after he betrayed him. Is this correct?

Well I am not sure whether you wanted to ask the question as a joke or not...
Anyways... 60 odd years ago the poor people who were servants were not allowed to have Xmas off, as they had to serve the rich. They instead got the next day off, with Xmas Boxes that had gifts in them. As years went by, the tradition died but it is still part of the Xmas package.
Boxing day has nothing to do with the sport. The name comes from putting all those gifts in the boxes.

Uh, no. Though I doubt your question was serious, here's an explanation from Snopes.com, if you're interested:

First you make a statement, then you ask if the statement is correct.
Strange.
