Thread Name: Folklore: Origins of Boxing Day
Subject: RE: Folklore: Origins of Boxing Day
Going back to DMcG's original question, I guess it comes down to what is meant by "traditional"

Wikipedia mentions that "Boxing Day itself remains on the 26th if that is a Saturday, but moves to the Monday if the 26th is a Sunday (the Sunday in question being referred to as Christmas Sunday)."

I have no idea how old that fashion is.
