[quote:a9f19]December 26th-Boxing Day in Great Britain
Boxing Day is a national holiday in England, Ireland, and Australia. It is celebrated on December 26th. Legend tells that on this day the noblemen "boxed up" gifts for their servants.

Boxing Day is also called St. Stephen's Day. Stephen was a martyr who was stoned to death shortly after Christ's crucifixion. Boxes that were placed in the churches throughout the year are opened this day. Payment for special services that were done during the year are distributed on this day. Children also go from house to house asking for contributions. [/quote:a9f19]
