Hi there!
The Boxing Day is a public holiday celebrated in Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Canada on December 26th. In Australia, Boxing Day became a federal public holiday during the last century. It is believed that having Christmas Day and Boxing Day as holidays encourages the tradition of families getting together at Christmas time.
In Britain a ‘Christmas Box’ is a name for a Christmas gift. Traditionally, on Boxing Day servants would have a day off and receive a ‘Christmas Box’ from their master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give ‘Christmas Boxes’ to their families. Nowadays, during Boxing Day you can find a large range of sales in many stores and even online!
