    Boxing day was named for being the day that everyone got rid of their boxes from Christmas. Its a holiday the day after Christmas and usually involves lots of store sales.

    It’s kind of like Canada’s gentler version of Black Friday.

      Yeah, I was just playing with words, and the fact that modern boxing is based on the 19th century Queensberry style and rules.
