If I remember correctly-------it was the day the servants got their gifts and bonus from the master of the house, after they had spent the whole of Christmas day serving his family, and not getting the day off.

Well here it is called the day after christmas big sale day. That is why they may call it the day after christmas boxing day. Cause so many people go out and are trying to get the great deals on sale, and it is like fighting yourself through an violent crowd. Happlly i am having surgey that day, so i don't really have to worry about that.

i believe it is because that is the day some people box up all of their old things to donate because they got a bunch of new things for christmas.
