It is a European holiday for exchanging gifts.
Christmas is supposed to be a day of family, religion, and remembrance. Boxing day is the day when the gifts are exchanged. heart

Hmm, I wonder how that got started. It wasn't until the last half of the 19th century that Christmas even became a family holiday. Up to that point, it was just another drinking holiday, and a lot of groups actually banned its celebration because of that, including the puritans who settled New England.
Lol, history lesson. blaugh

The Bank Holidays Act of 1871 in the UK designated it as a banking holiday.

They try to find every excuse to be off!! ...I'm actually -very- shocked that there isn't a "September 11" Bank Holiday here in the USA. >_>;

Why do they get so many days off?
They're no better then anyone else!
Another thing to add to my list of reasons why I hate powerful oganizations.
(like, microsoft, walmart, and the government)
