Boxing day is the day after Christmas, with a few different stories about its origins:
- The day that everything was boxed up after Christmas, when you pulled down all the decorations and put them away for next year.
- The day that the priests of the churches sorted the charity donations to distribute in boxes
- The day that you threw out all the boxes that the Christmas presents came in
Regardless of the origins, there are some important events that occur here in Australia on this day:
- Boxing Day Test - a cricket game always held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
- Start of the Sydney to Hobart - a sailing race from Sydney Harbour down to Hobart.
