Boxing day was named for being the day that everyone got rid of their boxes from Christmas. Its a holiday the day after Christmas and usually involves lots of store sales.

It's kind of like Canada's gentler version of Black Friday.

    Hmm, interesting. Looking it up on Wikipedia it seems the entomology of the term is a bit of a grey area.

    My definition is what I heard growing up, admittedly this is one of those things I never bothered to read about.
