WHAT IS BOXING DAY?
With some stores open every day of the year, some of us know what it’s like to work on Christmas Day. The difference between working now and back in Medieval times is significant. Back then, servants had to wait hand and foot on lords and ladies – and some of them weren’t always that nice. While the family feasted on large meals and joyfully opened up presents, the paid staff continued to work very hard. But this doesn’t mean servants had to go without Christmas and presents. The day after Christmas, faithful servants or employees would get a Christmas Box.
