No.

I copied this from another thread in the General Discussion board:

Actually, the roots of boxing day go back to the early '20's.  A lot of children would get Christmas gifts and although most of them were quite content with their presents, others would be envious of their siblings haul.  Parents got sick and tired of the bickering and eventually told the kids to work it out amongst themselves.  The fights that erupted were crude and the parents in the neighbourhoods usually had to step in.  After a while, the parents organized boxing matches between the siblings.  This caught on in neighbourhoods across the country and eventually made into a national holiday.   

And BTW - Wednesday is my last day of work until 2007!
