ENGLISH FESTIVAL
BOXING DAY IS HELD THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. IT BEGAN AS A CUSTOM IN
WHICH THE LANDLORDS GAVE GIFTS IN BOXES TO THE WORKERS ON THEIR LAND.
THE LANDLORDS WOULD GO VISITING AS THEY DELIVERED THE BOXES.
THE CUSTOM HAS DIED DOWN AND IS NOW USUALLY CARRIED OUT BY GIVING
MONEY TO MAIDS THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.
