I used to think Boxing Day was called that either because you had to put your presents back in their boxes for another year or because there was nothing but Boxing Matches on the telly. Either way, I remember crying a lot at the end of Christmas Day.
I also used to think that Lent was so called because you were only allowed to eat lentils.
