Plenty of Irish people call it boxing day. You should leave Dublin at least once in your life
This is a bit sad
What’s wrong with that?
You probably have no problem having British fryups though right? And Yorkshire puddings and watching English footy.
Gay byrne,sanctimonious old cunt, more of a brit than Stephen fry.
I have a colleague who is from NI, who has never even possessed a UK passport, has worked down here for the last decade, is as Irish as we are, and still calls it Boxing Day. Did we call it out? No, because we’re not assholes and we know it’s just what they’ve grown up with. Not everything has to be some big deal.
I dont actually care for the angry amongst you, tis a joke like. You try to make a light-hearted joke and look what trouble it causes. Have a lovely STEVENSES DAY!
It’s called that in most of Ulster, even by diehard republicans. That includes the 3 counties not in NI as I’ve met people from Donegal that call it this.
Average /r/ireland user waking up the day after Christmas to stew in rage over the existence of Brits
It’s steos day and nothing else
*shrug
Sorry, I call it boxing day too, the football has corrupted me.
Stephen Fry wrecked poor Gaybos head in this interview
Call it Lá Dreoilín and be done with it.
You mean Wrens Day?
Why is it called Saint Stephen’s?
I say Boxing Day?
Today is Stephen’s day, and tomorrow is the day after boxing day.
I can’t believe I paid €950 a month to live in Dublin after moving from London when I could have set up shop in your head for €0.
I think we should have a boxing day, before the end of the year. A day were we all thump the heads off each other, then get over it and get on with the New Year.

Boxing day has a nicer history than what you might think. Apparently based on giving care packages to the poor.
dae britain bad
upboats to the left
Boxing day is faster and therefore the option I choose
It’s called Boxing Day in Canada as well, but not in the United States. I knew it was called Boxing Day in Britain and I assume that’s where Canada got it from, but I hadn’t thought about whether it was called Boxing Day anywhere else.
Not everyone is a Catholic yano
I was called out on here one year for calling it Boxing Day.
Seems to be the norm up nortH
“Your Rhetoric may smother you!”
When your Christian friend calls New Years Day Feast of the Circumcision of Christ
Canada celebrates Boxing day, but most in the US think it has to do with putting on boxing gloves and punching your most annoying neighbor. Or putting your unwanted gifts in a box and returning it to the store.
I don’t get Stephen’s smugness in this argument. It’s not hard to understand Heaven is perfect in its goodness, with no bad, and Hell is perfectly bad, with no good, so Earth is neither, and thus must have both.
If most of us are on the same page in terms of removing religion from our everyday lives why are you getting so precious about calling it Stephens Day? Boxing Day is fine, relax people.
