Boxing Day

Could somebody tell me what Boxing Day is? I guess it's British, and has something to do with Christmas. I thought maybe you United Kingdom and Canadian guys could explain it.

Thanks Teddy,
Guess I have to get the cat a new litter box.

Yes thanks, for the first time I have an answer that goes beyond "something British" [the usual answer].

So did any of you Brits (or members of the Commonwealth) get anything special on "St. Stephen's Day"?

Mr. Falcon,

Not this one.... I've been successfully ignoring Christmas for some time now... some liken me to a modern-day Mr. Scrooge....

Best wishes
