Trish told me that boxing day, the holiday on the 26th of December, is an English holiday that was started when the upper classes used to take the day off after Christmas to go watch boxing matches. The lower classes used to have to go back to work. I am going to get a second opinion.
Modern Boxing Day is a party hearty day here in Australia where most people head to the beaches or pool parties with their mates and drink vast quantities of alcohol. This is when the police set up all their DUI roadblocks.
I might head out to Rotto Island to see what is going on there.
