I had promised an enthusiatic follower of this blog a thorough run-down of what Boxing Day really is, and hoped I could craft a concise precis that would clear this up for mankind once and for all!
Alas, I may have to leave this chore up to Joe Webb, because I still get the same vague "origins of the term are unknown" kind of stuff, and the ever-present "bank holiday in the UK" and "servants were given gifts/a day off by their stone-faced masters" pabulum as when I wasn't concerned about this. Anyone who watches a late-era M*A*S*H* Christmas episode can tell you as much as I can on this.
So, sorry!
