About this holiday
Boxing Day (or Offering Day), celebrated on December 26, is a holiday with origins in the UK and marked across several Commonwealth nations. While historically related to charity and gifting, it is now integrated into Christmas festivities. The date may shift to December 27th or 28th as a public holiday if required for it to fall on a weekday. It is sometimes celebrated alongside Saint Stephen's Day.
