Had a QSO on 160M last night and someone asked about the origins of Boxing Day....
Origin of Boxing Day:
Boxing Day got its name when Queen Victoria was on the
throne in the 1800s and has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. The
name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to
the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the
day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters.
