'''Boxing Day''' is a public [[holiday]] held on the day after [[Christmas]] in a number of countries which were formerly part of the [[British Empire]], such as the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]], and [[New Zealand]].

Numerous explanations for Boxing Day have been proffered, but the [[Oxford Dictionary]] lists it as being "from the former custom of giving tradespeople a Christmas box on this day".<ref>[http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/boxingday?view=uk Boxing Day] on AskOxford.com</ref>
