Since we don’t have Boxing Day in the United States I set out to find out the origin of Boxing Day.

What I found through my research is that people celebrating Boxing Day really don’t either. Some say it is a day to box up the Christmas Decorations and put away the gifts, some see it as our “Black Friday” and others the day where the rich should give to the poor. This American sounds like a good idea to extend the Christmas holidays and recover from all the hullabo. What do you think?
