     Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating（捐贈）their time，services and money to aid Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need．Besides，spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now．
