I will show my ignorance, which comes very naturally to me. Intelligence and good judgement are not leaves that sprout often on my family tree.

I have frequently heard the term "boxing day" but was never curious enough to get the true definition. I guess my assumption is that it referred to the head of the household beating the stink out of his wife's relatives so they would go home the day after Christmas. Do I have it wrong?

When is Boxing Day?:
Boxing Day is the 26th December and is a national holiday in the UK and Ireland.
Why is it Called Boxing Day:
Arguments abound on the origins of the name Boxing Day.

A ‘Christmas Box’ in Britain is a name for a Christmas present.
Boxing Day was a day off for servants and when they received a ‘Christmas Box’ from the master. The servants would also go home to give ‘Christmas Boxes’ to their families.
A box to collect money for the poor was placed in Churches on Christmas day then opened the next day.
Great sailing ships when setting sail would have a sealed box containing money on board for good luck.If the voyage were a success the box was given to a priest, opened at Christmas and the contents given to the poor.
