Why is it called Boxing Day?

Hold up—what happens the day *after* Christmas? It's Boxing Day! Mira and Finn are ready to uncover the mystery of this curious holiday. Does it involve actual punching? (Spoiler: definitely not!) Travel back 800 years to the Medieval Era where servants finally got a day off and were given special 'boxes' filled with goodies and treats! Churches also used this day to open up their Alms Boxes—the money collected all year long—to help people who were struggling. That’s right, this day is all about kindness and giving!

But wait, why is this same day now famous for massive shopping sales and watching intense sports like cricket or even (yikes!) fox hunts? Join us as we track this British tradition from old-fashioned gift boxes all the way across the world to countries like Canada and Australia! Get ready for amazing historical facts about charity, shopping chaos, and the weirdest winter sports!
