what is boxing day after christmas

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated in several countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is traditionally celebrated on December 26th, the day after Christmas. The origins of the holiday are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the UK and was a day when employers would give their employees gifts, often in the form of boxes, hence the name. Today, Boxing Day is typically a day to spend time with family and friends, to relax and recover from the busyness of Christmas, and to take advantage of after-Christmas sales.
