From reading about, and watching movies/tv shows that take place during Victorian/Edwardian times, I know about Boxing Day as the day after Christmas when servants receive gifts from their employer, the servants having had to work on Christmas Day. But what is it now?
shareExtra day off work or double pay if you have to work.
shareHaHa...I meant of course what is it celebrating/commemorating/observing (if anything).
shareNo nothing. Just celebrating not being at work lol.
There's the boxing day parade in London which is something to do with the Queen's (now King's) Guards I think but I never paid any attention to it 🤷🏻♀️.
We recognise Boxing Day in the UK. I never work it.
shareit's a holiday in canada. when i was a kid it everyone would drop by and my father would break out the accordion.
shareIt’s not a thing here in The States, we’ve heard of it though.
