Boxing Day (December 26)

Boxing Day sounds strange. Isn't it? It has nothing to do with boxing or fighting It is a day of charity and gifting goodies to the poor and the needy after December 25 On Christmas Day devotees visit churches and drop money and gifts in a box as charity This is distributed among the poor or needy A practice in vogue in England and followed by several Commonwealth countries since long Along with making charities it's changed a bit Employees too are offered money and gifts It's also a holiday marked by picnic & revelry
