[fvc-wat-disc] Poll: Holiday Get-Together for 2018

[Donald Fraser]

The *name* is a reference to holiday gifts. A 'Christmas Box' in Britain is
a *name* for a Christmas present. *Boxing Day* was traditionally a *day* off
for servants and the *day*when they received a 'Christmas Box' from the
master. The servants would also go home on *Boxing Day* to give 'Christmas
Boxes' to their families.Dec 4, 2018
