Boxing Day is traditionally the day following Christmas Day when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. It is observed in the United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago, and some other Commonwealth nations.
In South Africa, this holiday was renamed Day of Goodwill in 1994.
The bird in the box is simply my way of connecting the dots, on Boxing Day!
