What is boxing day and why this holiday?

I have grown up celebrating boxing day but never know the meaning of it .What is boxing day?|||I was wondering the same thing and stumbled upon your question. This is the answer I got from Wikipedia %26quot;Boxing Day is a traditional celebration dating back to the Middle Ages, of which the primary practice is the giving of gifts to employees or to people in a lower social class. The name has numerous folk etymologies%26quot;. Now, Wikipedia cannot always be trusted, but it sounds good to me.|||No-one actually knows for sure where the term %26#039;boxing day%26#039; came from. The most likely reason was it was the day the rich gave christmas presents to their servents, in the UK. Its a holiday because it was the day servants got off to celebrate christmas.|||boxing day is always after christmas and people just made it up for fun?? idk neither
