In addition to being a day for Santa Claus to take a breather, December 26 is also a public holiday in the United Kingdom and other British Commonwealth nations like Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Despite its odd name, Boxing Day has nothing to do with fighting, tossing out Christmas-wrapped boxes, or returning unwanted gifts to department stores. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first known use of the British term to 1833, four years before Charles Dickens used it in "The Pickwick Papers." Although the precise origins of the holiday are unknown, there are two prevalent theories that are connected to charitable donations that are typically given to members of the lower class on the day after Christmas.
