Boxing Day in Jamaica

Boxing Day is a day is the day that follows Christmas in South America, to visit your family after Christmas. It is a day to pack away all of your Christmas decorations for next year. Today, Boxing Day is a day where people meet with their extended family to share gifts with them or even just go to the beach and party with everyone!
A lot of people go to the beach on Boxing Day in Jamaica, bring busloads of people and grilling a lot of food for everyone. No matter where you go, there is always someone blasting music. They party to the next morning not caring about what the weather is, or if you have to work or not. This day is also used to give the poor people all your scraps of food from Christmas, to give them credit for what they have done for you.
