Dubai: The day after Christmas is observed by many people as Boxing Day. The question, naturally, is, what is Boxing Day?

What is Boxing Day?
While no one seems to know for sure how it came to be called Boxing Day, it definitely has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. Perhaps the most widely held understanding of its origins comes from the tradition of wealthier members of society giving servants and tradesmen a so-called Christmas box containing money and gifts on the day after Christmas. This tradition started around 800 years ago.
