From what I understand, this started waaay back in the day with wealthy people who had servants.  Since the servants would have to work on Christmas Day, they were given the day after Christmas off ---- and their employers would give them a gift in a BOX ---- hence Boxing Day. 

I'm not sure if that story is true ---- but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I know a lady who lives in Canada...she's frigid.

She's also probably cold in the winter, too.
