Boxing day history
Since 1871, England, Wales, Ireland, Ireland, and Canada have officially observed Boxing Day every year.
A number of theories have arisen regarding the holiday's origins. If not the day itself, some people point to the song "Good King Wenceslas" as the source of inspiration. The tenth-century Duke looked out on his land on St. Stephen's Day on December 26th and observed a poor peasant, according to the song. He ordered food, wine, and wood for fuel to be brought to the peasant, and pleaded for all Christian men to bless the homeless in the same way..
During Advent, it was custom in the Church of England for churches to display a donation box. The box's contents were distributed among the poor following Christmas. In addition, Aristocrats have traditionally given boxed gifts to their servants and employees.
The bulk of the activities taking place during the modern Boxing Day have nothing to do with the charity in the stories. Popular holidays include eating leftovers, soccer games, visiting, and drinking.
