Celebrate Boxing Day in style

December 24, 2012

For people in Canada, Christmas is not the only holiday to celebrate this week. Boxing Day is another traditional holiday that falls on December 26. The day is celebrated in the United Kingdom and in many other countries that were once a part of the British Empire.

TimeandDate.com reports the day started centuries ago in England and called for the lord of the manor to pay people who tended to his land in agricultural tools, food and clothing. The event typically took place the day after Christmas and has continued to be a tradition ever since. Despite the fact that the holiday is still well-known, the gifts employers give to their workers have varied. In many cases bosses in countries that celebrate the day will dole out candy or other small treats to their employers to celebrate.

You can show a loved one from Canada you're thinking about them this December 26 by sending them a collection of delivered flowers.
