December Facts

Many theologians estimate that Jesus wasn't born on December 25 but sometime in September between 6BC and 30AD.

The 26th of December is traditionally known as St Stephen's Day, but is more commonly known as Boxing Day. The reason it was called this is either alms boxes in church were opened and the money distributed to the poor, or alternatively it was named from the tradition of giving 'Christmas boxes' of gifts or bonuses to servants and employees on the day after Christmas.
