Boxing Day originated in England in the middle ofthe &
19th century under the reign ofQueen Victoria. The day
was created to thank the community for their efforts
throughout the year. It was a day where the higher class
ofEngland would give to the lower class.
Money, clothes, food etc., was given to the less fortu-
nate in boxes, giving this day the name, Boxing Day.
