In Britain,Australia,Canada and a few other English-speaking countries,people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over.They also celebrate the following day,known as Boxing Day.It is a popular day for giving additional(另外的) gifts.It has been celebrated for so long,but nobody exactly knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages.In those days,in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor.The day after Christmas the boxes were opened,and the money was counted.Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.
Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts(盛宴).They offered lots of food to their guests.Because many servants(仆人) were needed to make and serve the food,they could not celebrate Christmas with their families.To thank them,the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries.Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating(捐赠) them to the poor.Many people are active in helping service organizations(组织) like the Red Cross.
No matter how Boxing Day got its start,it’s a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people.By doing so,you can make someone’s holiday much happier.

In Britain ,Australia ,Canada and a few other English-speaking countries ,people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over.They also celebrate the following day ,known as Boxing Day.It is a popular day for giving additional(另外的) gifts.It has been celebrated for so long ,but nobody exactly knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages.In those days ,in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor.The day after Christmas the boxes were opened ,and the money was counted.Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.
Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts(盛宴).They offered lots of food to their guests .Because many servants(仆人) were needed to make and serve the food ,they could not celebrate Christmas with their families.To thank them ,the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries.Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating(捐赠) them to the poor.Many people are active in helping service organizations(组织) like the Red Cross.
No matter how Boxing Day got its start ,it’s a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people.By doing so ,you can make someone’s holiday much happier.
