Why is it called boxing day?

[jack_the_rippuh]

No, **** that. Grant is better only if you have a jab because they aren't as dense and can move faster through air.

Do you have a jab?

[Mr. Ryan]

Do you have a jab?

Yeah, but my best shot is my left hook and I just prefer Reyes. Helps me sleep better at night.

You're a lightweight?

[Mr. Ryan]

You're a lightweight?

I started out at 125, but couldn't keep that weight. 132 now.

Someone should know out there surely.

The "boxing" on the term Boxing Day is from the word "box", which refers to the common rectangular container we use in wrapping gifts. It started in the middle ages when the wealthy shared their blessings by giving boxes of gifts to their workers and the poor after Christmas.

Here in Canada (and on other crown countries like Britain and Australia), it became a national holiday and is still widely practiced, mostly by businesses give gifts to patrons by way of bargains and discounts.

Got anything this Boxing Day? Got myself a small TV. Really great bargain!
