This doesn't mean that when a person has his name day others offer him his favorite flowers; in fact we use to do it in our family, because we usually have our own way of celebrating the various anniversaries and in general we do not follow the customs.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Boxing Day
Christmas celebrations in the old days entailed bringing everyone together from all over a large estate, thus creating one of the rare instances when everyone could be found in one place at one time.
Thus, the day after Christmas, after all the partying was over and it was almost time to go back to far-flung homesteads, serfs were presented with their annual allotment of practical goods.
