Centuries. Christmas was a pagan festival that was outlawed by the church. As people would still celebrate it, regardless, the church eventually Christianised it, and in a form that we would recognise today, it has been celebrated for better part of 1000 years. That said, many of our current traditions are much more recent, and reflect modern living.

In countries such as the UK and Australia, the day after Christmas is also a public holiday, and it is called Boxing Day.

Another theory is that it originated from the tradition of leaving food and other necessities for the poor in boxes outside churches on the day after Christmas.
