The 26 of December became the holiday for the servants because they all had to work on Christmas.

Cookie Bean, 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.

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.
