Happy Boxing Day . . .

. . . even if nobody knows what it is or why it exists.

What Is Boxing Day? — FactMonster.com: Despite its name, Boxing Day, which is celebrated on December 26 in Great Britain, has nothing to do with pugilistic competition. Nor is it a day for people to return unwanted Christmas presents. While the exact origins of the holiday are obscure, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages.
