My birthday is Boxing Day which is a really rotten day for a birthday because everyone is just too tired from celebrating Christmas the day before. I have even been asked if it was OK to give just a single gift to cover both occasions.

Boxing day originated in the UK where remnants of Christmas dinner in the homes of the wealthy (started by the queen & king) were boxed up and givento the poor.
