St. Stephen's Day for me
This again, who cares?
I'd say boxing day because it rolls of the tongue easier than St stephen's day.

I'm just curious if thats alright with you
Was always the wren's day in my house growing up.
I've come around to calling it the King George day at Kempton in recent years though! ;)
Boxing day seems to be a real British/Nordie thing.
Cant stand St Stephens day being called 'Boxing Day' myself.
Heard Matt Cooper on Today FM correcting some manager (who is English) of a dept store opening on 26th December about not calling St Stephens day Boxing day in Ireland.
Stephens-a-z-s Day always!!.........Boxing Day?? It's defined as "the Anglo-Saxon tradition giving seasonal gifts (in the form of a "Christmas box") to less wealthy people and slaves. In the United Kingdom this was later extended to various workpeople such as labourers, servants, tradespeople and postal workers."
if we hadn't have been sold out we maybe wouldn't be calling it boxing day
Going on the lash in the Moy day.Best rip of the year. ;D

Looks like Donnelly's Hollow has got this one right... pagans :o
St. Stephen's Day is a national holiday in Ireland, but, the celebrations have little connection to the Saint.
In Ireland, St. Stephen's Day is the day for "Hunting the Wren" or "Going on the Wren." Originally, groups of small boys would hunt for a wren, and then chase the bird until they either have caught it or it has died from exhaustion. The dead bird was tied to the top of a pole or holly bush, which was decorated with ribbons or colored paper.
Early in the morning the wren was carried from house to house by the boys, who wore straw masks or blackened their faces with burnt cork, and dressed in old clothes.

Took the words out of my mouth.
Quite ironic the only time the freestaters embrace their Irishness is when someone calls the 26th December boxing day.
There is a touch of the Celtic jersey outside Croke Pk about this, the North is full of Sinn Féin "patriots" going on about "Boxing" day.

Always been St Stephen's Day around here. Or Wren's day although that is dying out a little.

Bigger battles to be fought and won than a name on some day.
Freestaters going on about st stephen's day when referring to English soccer teams as "we", wearing English soccer shirts, reading the sun and the mirror, watching emerdale and eastenders or some game show that seems very similar to an english game show. ::)

How did they catch these wrens? Surely the wren would just fly away or go up a tree?
Is known as St Stephens day about our country but some of the protestants often call it boxing day, makes no odds to me what it is called. The wren boys still goes on about many places in Cavan, always found them more scary than the halloween trick or treaters for some reason. Never seen them with a wren though!
I call it boxing day, cuz thats what it says on the top of the page in the TV guide!!

What is wrong with you, apart from the obvious that is?
For me Ireland is Ireland - whether you are in Co Kerry or Co Antrim. I'd treat all people that live on the island as Irish although you'll have a minority in the 6 counties who will never acknowledge themselves as Irish only ever as Northern Irish or British but sure thats their own loss isn't it.

I'd say that's the way sensible people look at it, whatever their nationality and whereever they live

Sure it's a fact that nobody can deny. In Mayo its St.Stephens day or sometimes Wren Day ("Wran Day"), you would probably get spit on in Mayo for calling it Boxing Day. Counldn't believe my ears when a friend told me he saw a GAA club up in Belfast with a sign advertising GAA Boxing Day fundraising a few years back.

Irleand has 32 counties, not the 26 you're talking about. It doesnt even make sense. I don't care what sell outs and dip shits think.
Btw, you'd get spat on in Mayo for referring to the 26th December as boxing day? That's funny. Where were all you true Irish boys when there were real causes to fight for?
It'd be Stephen's Day around my part of the country, it's only boxing night after the disco in the early hours of the next day ;D - drinking all day doesn't agree with some people and then the rows start!!!

That'd go well with your current religious views fox. ;)

pints you seem a right cranky hoor! :D
Ye nordies get upset over the smallest things
It's not the nordies getting worked up over the name of some day.
No you lot get worked up about when the southern state is called Ireland .
Hardly worked up, just point out how stupid it is and only a dip shit would refer to part of the country as "Ireland"
Its the countries name FFS, look Bunreacht na hEireann and you will see its Ireland or Eire, the Republic of Ireland is a soccer team not a country and the Irish Free State does not exist anymore. Stick to the facts.
Irleand has 32 counties, not the 26 you're talking about. It doesnt even make sense. I don't care what sell outs and dip shits think.
Btw, you'd get spat on in Mayo for referring to the 26th December as boxing day? That's funny. Where were all you true Irish boys when there were real causes to fight for?
Ireland the island has 32 historic counties. You lot are more than welcome to join us in Ireland the state when you are ready.

Makes perfect sense, Ireland has two correct definitions, Ireland is a country, Ireland is also an Island. FACT. I really don't care what someone with 24-7_365 male version of PMS thinks either.
Yawn, make love not war, shag more & out vote them, don't out shoot/bomb them.
Thats a classic line :D :D

Does it annoy you to hear it called Boxing Day? There are loads of things from our colonial past that annoy me but I can say with my hand on my heart that Boxing Day isn't one of them. One thing that does annoy me though is that I'll be back at work at 10.30 that morning!!!

Any Southerner who calls it "Boxing Day" should be whipped.
In the North it is coming at you from all the British tv stations, so people are bound to accidentally use the phrase.
There is no excuse down South though!

I spent a while in that great bastion of Irishness, south Tipperary ::) with its Gladstone and Queen Streets in Clonmel and Norman Festival in Cahir. Everyone wearing their English premiership tops and soccer more popular than Gaelic games... more English than Croydon ;)

In the last 10 years this is the case, i remember when i was younger most households wouldn't have access to RTE, similarly when i went on Holidays to the South, very rarely had you access to British TV.
Why would anyone from Ireland call it Boxing Day???

Last ten years my arse... there were all the stations including SKY in the 'south' way back 20 years ago... I remember watching 1989 Liverpool - Arsenel last league game live in Tipperary and it wern't on RTE. Also have watched RTE up here for far longer than 20 years... some great movies on Boxing day too 8)
