Guilty or Not Guilty

Not guilty !! ( someone crashed into mine tho', a hit and run but we tracked him down and got him into court )

You stole sweets (candy) from the store when you were a child

That makes makes sense...but not here in the UK, the postmen, look forward to making a big bonus in customer tips at Christmas.
In fact ''boxing day'' the day after Christmas originated in the Uk and the sovereign countries and many others in Europe finds it's origin in gifts given to those who have been of service to us during the year . A ‘Christmas Box’ in Britain is a name for a Christmas present to a tradesman

. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a ‘Christmas Box’ from the master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give ‘Christmas Boxes’ to their families.

It's still a tradition now in 2019 to give a tip or a gift to people like the postman, the refuse collectors , the milk deliverers ( although there's now relatively few of the latter)... and as an aside Boxing day is also a National holiday
