Happy Boxing Day! I googled Boxing Day this morning, assuming there would be some fascinating history there and half wondering if actual boxing was involved at all. It turns out it has nothing to do with actual boxing, and the history of Boxing Day is waaaaayyyy more dull than expected (“Boxing” refers to literal boxes, which sometimes held gifts for people in service positions and zzzzzz…).

Thankfully, I noticed the “related searches” at the bottom of my screen and realized Blink-182 has a song called “Boxing Day” (??!). What other Boxing Day songs are there? A Spotify search comes up with quite a few (to be fair, Boxing Day is a wicked cool name as far as official government-approved bank holidays go).

Please enjoy this handful of songs I found called “Boxing Day.” There were a lot more, but I got discouraged by the amount of bad techno and jazz.
