阖家欢乐的一天 Giddy family fun

Beverley Westwood Common，东约克郡，英国

我们照片中的滑雪者正在享受英国的节礼日，他们在东约克郡黑磨坊附近的贝弗利韦斯特伍德公馆（Beverley Westwood Common）裹着行囊，冲下一座小山。传统上，节礼日是圣诞节兴奋过后放松的一天。名字后面是什么？有几种说法，但最被广泛接受的说法是，这个名字来源于圣诞节后第二天向穷人赠送“盒子”（礼物）。也许我们今天都应该效仿这个例子，吃圣诞剩饭，听萦绕的颂歌。我们怎样才能给那些不幸的人一个小小的圣诞节呢？

The sledders in our photo are enjoying Boxing Day in England, bundled up and hurtling down a hill at Beverley Westwood Common near Black Mill in East Yorkshire. Traditionally, Boxing Day is a day off to relax after the excitement of Christmas. What's behind the name? There are a few theories, but the most widely accepted one is that the name derives from the giving of 'boxes' (of gifts) to the poor the day after Christmas. Perhaps we should all follow that example today, as we eat Christmas leftovers and listen to lingering carols. How can we give a little Christmas to those who are less fortunate?
