Boxing Day a unique way to express gratitude
Boxing Day originated in the United
Kingdom and is celebrated the day after
Christmas in many countries throughout the
world.
According to Wikipedia, the Dec. 26
holiday is celebrated as a second Christmas
Day. It is often a time when vendors,
personal assistants, couriers, postal carriers
and domestic workers expect to receive a
box containing gifts, cash or food.
The origin of Boxing Day is often
attributed to 16th and 17th century British
traditions which allowed domestic servants
of wealthy families to have the day after
Christmas off to visit family and friends
because they were expected to work on
Christmas Day.
Though no longer applicable to many, it
would be a unique way for employers and
the public to express gratitude to those who
work in the hospitality industry, healthcare,
or public service positions such as police
and firefighters who are required to work on
Christmas Day.
