Happy Boxing Day! Many of you would have heard of the term Boxing Day, but do you know its origins? Boxing Day in the UK is on 26th December and is a national holiday along with Christmas day, however boxing day has nothing to do with fighting, Boxing Day originates back when Queen Victoria reigned on the throne in the 1800s, the name in fact comes from a time when the rich would box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants - a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also get to go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families. Churches also played a part in the creation of Boxing Day, throughout the year they would collect money from churchgoers in the form of weekly collections and then hand this out at Christmas. Many of them stored the collection money in a box, which they opened on Christmas Day. The money was then handed out to the poor the next day - on Boxing Day. Today, those boxes aren't as popular. However some people leave out extra money for people like paper boys and girls, bin men and such in the weeks before Christmas, and call it a Christmas box. The main traditions of boxing day are Football (soccer) and turkey sandwiches, interestingly football matches would always be played on Christmas Day up until the 1950`s when it became frowned upon and moved to the 26th, Boxing Day, there is always a full schedule on this day and as most people are off work it is highly viewed, the second tradition is turkey sandwiches made from the leftover turkey that is traditional at English dinner tables on Christmas Day!

Simply drop off at Shelly`s Tea Rooms a new unwrapped toy for children in need this Christmas! We will be collecting gifts from today until December 3rd. Some questions you may have!

Pre-teen/teens are groups for which shopping is especially difficult and are most overlooked and we appreciate it can be hard to think what to get, some ideas for this age bracket are: Sporting equipment/bags/balls, books, backpacks, cosmetics, purses, watch/wallet gift sets, bath gift sets, board games, radio control cars/trucks, hand-held electronics, skateboards, bicycles, curling irons, hair straighteners, and hair dryers. Gift Cards are also extremely helpful and appreciated. Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce
