"the term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients." |

It's a victorian thing, they believed that christmas day itself should be reserved for going to church, boxing day was the day you actually opened boxes (presents). |

Boxing day began in the middle ages where church boxes where opened and the money distributed to the poor. Then in the 19th century it was revived along with the idea of the Lords and Ladies presenting their servents with boxes of left over food as a thankyou for their work over the festive period. From this comes the slang "to box someone off" which basically means you will ensure that person gets what he/she deserves. |

It dates back to the Bronze Age. The people of this time respected the lesbian. On Christmas night all straight people (young and old) + gay men consumed cubes of bronze. After consumption they slept for over 24 hours. Therefore on the 26th of December only lesbians were awake. This practice allowed the lesbians to roam the land and eat eachother's "boxes" all day. Hence boxing day. |
