Just for your information: the name derives from the tradition of forcefully coercing minorities into boxing matches, on the day after Christmas. This was done especially with less wealthy people and social inferiors, which was later extended to various workpeople such as labourers and servants. Boxing day was also a day the servants had a day off from their duties. Because of this the gentry would eat cold cuts and have a buffet style feast prepared by the servants in advance. In modern times many families will still follow this tradition by eating a family style buffet lunch, with cold cuts rather than a full cooked meal.
This servant has been working hard today ... and has not had to box anyone!
Yay!
Song of the Day: Boxerbeat - Joe Boxers
