A Vibrant Boxing Day in Sydney 2021

Boxing Day is celebrated on the day after Christmas every year and is specific only to a few countries, mainly the UK and its commonwealth countries and some European countries. The day’s origin has manifold explanations, but the most meaningful of these was that it was traditionally a day off for servants during the British aristocracy. They had to work on Xmas Day and then were given a Christmas ‘box’ the next day along with their day off. This tradition received various modifications over the years with people making donations and other charities to the needy. Regardless, Boxing Day was built on the meaning of giving even before it got recognized as a holiday.
