Boxing Day
Boxing Day, celebrated on December 26, is an extension of the Christmas holidays. Its name comes from the tradition of giving presents to servants and the needy in boxes. Today, the day is associated with sales, sporting events and family gatherings.
Many Britons spend Boxing Day by attending football or rugby matches, as well as going for walks with their families. Traditionally, people cook dishes from the leftovers of Christmas dinner, such as turkey sandwiches or mince pies.
Boxing Day has also become an important day for charity. Many people donate money or goods to funds to help those in need. This holiday reminds us of the importance of generosity and caring for others.
