In early times religeous events were taken seriously Most important of these was easter and christmas.On christmas day the people celebrated by feasting and sharing thier good fortune and went to church to pay homage to god.The church set aside a box so the more affluent citizens could donate money for the poor The box was opened the next day and distributed to the poor.Hence boxing day

The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," later shortened to "Christ-Mass." The even shorter form "Xmas" - first used in Europe in the 1500s - is derived from the Greek alphabet, in which X is the first letter of Christ's name: Xristos, therefore "X-Mass."

This has nothing to do with the sport of boxing or prizefighting.\n\nBoxing Day is a public holiday observed in many Commonwealth countries on 26 December. In many European countries it is also a holiday, called St. Stephen's Day or the Second Day of Christmas. Depending on its origin, it may have traditionally been strictly defined as the first weekday after Christmas, however, in recent years Boxing Day has been almost universally accepted as 26 December, although its associated public holiday may fall on a different day.\n\nIn Britain many years ago, it was common practice for the servants to carry boxes to their employers when they arrived for their day's work on the day after Christmas (December 25). Their employers would then put coins in the boxes as special end-of-year gifts. This can be compared with the modern day concept of Christmas bonuses. The servants carried boxes for the coins, hence the name Boxing Day.

boxing day is called boxing day as churched opened up the day after christmas so those who recieved presents could go around the back of the church and donate their unwanted gifts into the boxes so the church could then distribute them to the poor and use the money to refurbish the church...\n\nyou put as much as you wanted in to these boxes as it was always anonymous-only "god" judged you for your generosity\n\nhope that helps\n\nx

I am an Atheist and have no problem at all with "Merry Christmas" or "Christmas Tree" or anything simular.  If a store wants to display signs that say Merry Christmas than I think thats great.  If they want to have Happy Holidays instead, I see no problem with that either.\n\nFor me, December 25th is Christmas Day.  Its not Holiday Day or Solstice Day... its Christmas Day.  \nOf course the word Christmas may have more meaning to some people than to others.  I dont celebrate the birth of Christ and most Theists dont either.  Maybe one day we will have an ATHEIST DAY and damn to hell if I would let some Jesus Freak make me change it!

Just a silly way to answer.\n\nIf it is Saturday, it is Saturday, but if it rains, then it is a rainy day.

The Greek and Russian orthodox churches celebrate Christmas 13 days after Dec. 25th (the day on which the birt of Christ is observed -- even though Christ's birthday more than likely took place in the middle of September (see http://www.zoomnet.net/~bbratt/jc-born.html for the rationale for that argument). This 13th day after the 25th is meant to represent the holiday referred to as Epiphany (or Three Kings Day). Epiphany is the day it is believed that the three wise men finally found Jesus in the manger.\n\nIn summation, the 12 days of Christmas are the 12 days between Christ's birth and the day when the the three wise men arrived to greet his arrival.
