This means it's not a working day in the whole Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday. The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear. One of the thought is that during the Middle Ages,when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was replaced by a priest(神父)on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up(密封)and kept on board until the ship came safely. One more thought is about the “Alms Box"placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshipers(做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day. Today,many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides,spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now. 1.
