文化：Boxing Day节礼日
说法一
一种被广泛认可的说法是：雇员在在圣诞节后的第一个工作日，会收到雇主的圣诞礼物，这些礼物通常被称为“圣诞节盒子”（Christmas Boxes），所以英文的“节礼日”译为"Boxing Day"。
说法二
节礼日疯狂采购额创历史
另外一种说法是：牧师将在这天打开功德箱，将里面的捐款分发给穷人。节礼日现今普遍被认为是购物日，因为在圣诞节过后的第一天，一般商家都会推出减价活动。但是其实节礼日的真正含义是一般人家为了接济那些无家可归的人们而把自己圣诞节剩下的事物用品等放在盒子里，然后放在自己家门口让有需要的人们自行取用。

口break your leg
是祝裔语，意为“祝你幸运”。意为祝你演出成功，当然不是指“断了一条腿”，
某种程度而言，“break your leg”是演艺圈、尤其是舞台现场演出的“行话”， 朋友若要上台演出，你可对他说：“break your leg!”祝你演出成功！） 究其渊源有多种说法。较为大众接受的为，源于莎士比亚时期的舞台传统。 演出完毕后，演员一般要到前台谢幕，如若表演出色，掌声自然多,一般演员是弯腿行“屈膝礼”的。 屈膝礼是弯一条腿的,表演出色，掌声不断,不停弯腿,自然是好事. 由此，“Break a leg”成了希望演员演出成功的形象说法。
