jeffreyabAccording to many advertising flyers this period is now know in Canada as:
BOXING WEEK!
Mainly because the traditional Canadian Boxing Day Sale is now spread over a longer period of time to allow more people to enjoy the ritual.
Also: No I do not know why they call it Boxing Day. My favourite theory is because its the day you hand a Christmas box to people who deliver to your house like the mailman, the milkman, the iceman, the heating oil/coal delivery man, grocery delivery boy, the Brown Santa delivery person and his ilk, the newspaper boy and the telegram delivery boy.
