12 Festive Stories About Boxing Day!

Dear readers,

To our readers in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and any other country that recognizes the day after Christmas Day as a holiday, we wish you a happy Boxing Day!

Traditionally celebrated on December 26th, the name can be traced back to many possible origins; from an Alms Box placed outside churches to deposit donations to the poor, to references to gift boxes being provided for servants. The point is, it involves more gifts and extending festivities, and that’s all right with us!

Today in many of those countries, especially in the UK, it’s seen as more of a shopping day, with sales and bargains to be found to buy yet more things a day after gifts have been given across the land. Think of it as their version of Black Friday but with less murder.

We’ve rounded up twelve stories about Boxing Day for all of you to extend the holiday spirit one more day, regardless of what country you’re in!
