Tracing a saying to its source is usually a difficult task.

"Don't give up the ship," for example, was ② the last order of James Lawrence, commander of the American military ship the Chesapeake.

With the Chesapeake's rigging in shreds, Lawrence stood in the thick of the fight. He was severely wounded, but he continued to urge his men on.      "③ Don't give up the ship!" he cried.

Captain Lawrence's words have the same meaning today as "never give up" or "don't quit." ④ They are remembered thanks to Oliver Hazard Perry who, in his victorious battle over the British on Lake Erie, flew a blue flag inscribed with ⑤ Captain Lawrence's words.

Have you ever heard of Boxing Day? It's a holiday celebrated in the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth countries on December 26 every year. Some people say that the ancient Roman tradition of gift giving during the winter festival of Saturnalia inspired Boxing Day, but no one knows for certain.

(A) During the seventeenth century, the alms-box way of giving stopped. However, poor people began making their own boxes and asking employers and customers for money in recognition of their service. From that time on, it became a tradition to give money to delivery people and other service workers on Boxing Day.

(B) A modern "box" is an envelope containing money that is given before Christmas. These days, on December 26, or on the following Monday if Christmas falls on a Friday or Saturday, most people celebrate Boxing Day by visiting family and friends or attending sporting events. No matter how or where it started, the tradition of sharing prosperity continues to exist!

(C) This gift giving eventually took the form of placing alms boxes in churches on Christmas Day so that rich people could drop coins into them for later distribution to poor people. These early "Christmas Boxes" were made of clay and had holes cut in their tops but no ‘stoppers’ at the bottoms. It was "smashing fun" opening them!

Some people say that the ancient Roman tradition of gift giving during the winter festival of Saturnalia inspired Boxing Day, but no one knows for certain.

This gift giving eventually took the form of placing alms boxes in churches on Christmas Day so that rich people could drop coins into them for later distribution to poor people.
