Why is it called Boxing Day if it's about shopping? People fighting for bargains?

I went out grocery shopping today but avoided the mall at all costs... I imagine it's a mad house in there today judging from the traffic and number of cars parking on curbs and side streets away from the mall...

I haven't bought Christmas Wrapping Paper in a few years. I always buy it the day after Christmas because it's all put on sale really cheap. But I'm starting to run out so I'm going to run out and get some of that. Other than that I'm doing absolutely nothing. Have a most wonderful Boxing Day.
