People all know that December 25th is Christmas Day for Americans and other westerners.Yet not all people know Boxing Day.
Boxing Day is a holiday observed on December 26th,or the first weekday after Christmas.And it is a festival only for those service persons such as postmen,errand boys,newspaper boys,milkmen,etc.On that day,families traditionally give Christmas boxes to those service workers.It is a custom,but nobody is certain how it was originated.
A popular legend tells us the story.There was once a wealthy lady called Chatter in England.One morning many,many years ago,it snowed very heavily.Chatter was waiting anxiously for a very important letter from her boyfriend.Then a postboy came and gave her the letter.She was so delighted that she gave him a box containing gifts.Later on more and more people followed her example.As time went by,giving boxes of gifts to service persons became a custom in Britain.Later the custom spread to the British Commonwealth and America.In the United States,some people give their employees money instead of boxes nowadays.
