Hmm. Thanks for educating me. I've heard it pronounced, and I've seen it written, but for obvious reasons I never made the connection, and assumed that they were two different words.

Since I'm talking about the holidays now, I'll mention that I had a really funny impression of what Boxing Day was for a while. I knew that people in Britain celebrated it, so when I was little I figured that it was a day where there was a big boxing match in Britain and everyone watched.

I'm English, and I used to think that's where the name derived from. Only when I was a kid, mind you...
