Boxing Day is a public holiday celebrated on December 26, mainly in countries with British traditions (such as the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).
What it means & where it comes from
Traditionally, it was the day when employers gave “Christmas boxes” (gifts or money) to servants, workers, and people in need. The name likely comes from these gift boxes, not from the sport of boxing 🥊.
How it’s celebrated today
Public holiday: Many people are off work. Shopping sales: Huge retail discounts, similar to Black Friday. Sports: Popular day for football, rugby, and cricket matches. Relaxation & visits: Time to see family, enjoy leftovers, or travel.
Is it everywhere?
Yes in the UK and several Commonwealth countries. In some places (like the US), it’s not an official holiday but still recognized culturally.
