    Tried in Justin's thread, but I'll try again.
    What does the term "Boxing day" come from?
    Anybody knows?

    Something to do with the postal system.

    OK, apparently it has nothing to do with the Post Office.

    I found this, though:

    26 December was traditionally known as St Stephen's Day, but is more commonly known as Boxing Day. This expression came about because money was collected in alms-boxes placed in churches during the festive season. This money was then distributed during to the poor and needy after Christmas.

    i always thought it had something to do with the servants of rich families ages ago but i probably made that up in my head...

    i do know, however, that it's the Anglicised term for st. stephen's day and some sections of society in ireland refuse to call it boxing day
