Boxing Day is a holiday that occurs on December 26th every year. This holiday is mostly celebrated in countries that are part of the Commonwealth of Nations. Some of the major countries that celebrate Boxing Day are Canada, The United Kingdom and Australia.

What is it celebrating?

Well it doesn't celebrate much to tell you the truth. It is a civic holiday up here in Canada. In part it celebrates the Feast of St. Stephen but mostly now it is just accepted as a second day off after Christmas. There are often after Christmas Sales that stores have either on Boxing Day or the day after called Boxing Day Sales as well.

Also my mistake with the date this year. Because Christmas falls on a Friday, Monday will probably be celebrated in lieu of Boxing Day if you don't normally work on the weekends.

Hmmm, I think we need that Holiday here in the USA, lol. Thanks for the explanation!

Yeah, to be honest, I have no idea why we have such a thing as Boxing Day, but oh well!
