    Personally, I'd be with 100% you on that, but there's one vote (so far) above that disagrees.....

    That would be me again.
    However,a small confession; Being brought up on the border ,I'm bilingual and I have referred to the 26th of December as both Boxing Day and Stephens' Day.

    That's a statistical anomaly.

    it is a border thing, I think it's cos we watch BBC.

    I only ever call it boxing day though.....anyway, I'm away to the pub now, I suppose I will have to defend my opinion later :P

    Nope, I'm the foreigner who calls it that; I think Liam was on about the people who voted "Boxing Day (Even though I'm Irish)"
