#104604. Asked by madkeen4. (Apr 11 09 6:01 AM) It is based on
the tradition of giving gifts (a "Christmas box") to the less
fortunate members of society. The name derives from the fact
that the day is traditionally marked by the giving of Christmas
boxes, or gifts, to service workers (such as service staff,
postal workers and trades people) in the United Kingdom. "Ask
