In early times, employers used to give alms (money or food) to their employees. The employers used to send boxes full of gifts, bonuses, and occasionally leftover food to servants who had to serve their masters on Christmas Day but were then permitted to see their families the next day.
Now, in modern times, this day has become an official shopping day.
