the people know Boxing Day.
Boxing Day is a holiday observed on December 26,or the first weekday after Christmas. And it is a
festival only for those service persons such as postmen, newspaper boys, milkmen, etc. On that day,
families traditionally give Christmas boxes to those service workers. It is a custom, but nobody is certain

a box with presents. Later on, more and more people followed her example. As time went by, giving
