Boxing Day is traditionally the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their superiors. Well I'm not a tradesman and certainly no servant.
I am told by some of my Commonwealth friends that some locales have a Boxing Day tradition similar to a "pub crawl" where people visit friends, gather leftovers and gifts and then that combined party moves on to the next friend's house to increase the food/festivities and repeat until you have a large group and shared food/company at the final destination.
When it was described to me, it seemed like a very fun and happy tradition.Haven't heard that before.
Maybe they were playing on my ignorance and having me on.
I hope not. It really does sound like a fun way to relax with friends after a stressful day with family.Well you said commonwealth, so perhaps it happens in some commonwealth countries but not in the UK.
As far as I know people just throw parties with no gift exchanges and just provide food and drink, or go out to town to celebrate the new year im going to my aunts again this year.
Also there is no pub crawl type thing with houses.
