Boxing Day is a holiday observed in the
United Kingdom and much of the the
British Commonwealth. Traditionally, servants received Christmas gifts from their employers on December 26, after the family celebrations. Boxing Day is now a public holiday, and occurs on the first day after Christmas that would otherwise be a working day (Dec. 26 unless that falls on a weekend).
In the UK Boxing Day is traditionally a day of Sport. In Ireland the 26th is known as [St Stephen]?'s Day or[Wren's Day]?.
