I'd never heard of Boxing day until I saw it on today's calander. No connection to the Boxer Rebellion. Then I see it some how connected with Fox hunting. Someone said that that was the unbearable after the inedible, or something along those lines. Shaw? or Coward?
For a young man in Arkansas, Fox hunting happened along a rural road at night. We sat around the fire drinking boiled coffee (sometimes more than the coffee got boiled) and listened to the races as our hounds chased whatever they jumped. Deer or coyotes or rabbits. Anything was fair came since nothing was ever killed. Next day was spent trying to recover the dogs that had scattered to all points of the compass.
Hitchcock made a good movie about a murder at a fox hunt Some sort of harrow or plow placed at a jump. Maybe it wasn't Hitchcock.

Hi American Chums
The quote was from Oscar Wilde and he said that foxhunting was the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.
Boxing Day was once the day on which Christmas Boxes (containing presents) were given. In Ireland it is known as St Stephens Day. In both countries is it traditional to engage in horse sports such as racing and fox hunting. Also, taking large amounts of Alka Seltzer.
