I thought it celebrated people fighting!!!!

In this country, Boxing refers to two gentlemen getting into the ring and having a prize winning fighting match.

Every friday night as I was growing up, my father, my uncles and myself would gather in front of the tv for the Friday Night Fights!!! They were called Boxing matches.

So naturally, when I heard the term Boxing Day in England, I thought prizefighters got into a ring and fought each other.

Hit me with a wet noodle.
