Boxing day december 26th презентация

The name of Boxing Day comes from the need to rid the house of empty boxes the day after Christmas.

Boxing Day used to be about giving to the poor. Sometimes the gift came in a box. Other times, servants received a day off.

Many years ago, on the day after Christmas, servants in Britain carried boxes to their masters when they arrived for the day's work. It was a tradition that on this day all employers would put coins in the boxes as a special end-of-the-year gift.

Now this is the time to visit friends and relatives or perhaps sit at home and watch TV.

Boxing Day is a big day for sports. Europeans gather around their television sets for football and rugby matches.
