> Boxing Day: December 26; traditionally the day when the gentry would give presents (in boxes, I guess) to their servants, and sometimes other members of the lower class riff-raff.

See, the best thing about it is that this happened the day *after* Christmas. So guess what happened to all those novelty calendars, pairs of socks, and mind-bogglingly inappropriate decorative items which your more distant relatives gave you out of a sense of duty. I think we need to get back to observing Boxing Day in the traditional manner.
