One time on IRC the topic of what Boxing Day even is came up, and this guy said in seriousness that it’s to memorialize the Boxer Rebellion, and we had a big fight about it. He backed up his claim by pointing out that the horse from Animal Farm was an allegory for said uprising, so he wasn’t just making things up.
Please I crave more info. How did he possibly think that Boxer from animal farm was an allegory for the Boxer Rebellion and how did this possibly prove that Boxing Day commemorates the rebellion
