Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses or employers, in the United Kingdom, Barbados, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Bermuda, New Zealand, Kenya, South Africa, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and other former British colonies. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. After the intro music and hellos, we'll start the show with a number of songs about giving thanks and/or thanking folks, then move on to have a listen to a number of things that made their EWL Show debut in 2015. Enjoy and... see you next year!
