The day after Christmas is called "Boxing Day" in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other Commonwealth countries. It is celebrated as a public holiday on December 26th, one day after Christmas Day. On Boxing Day, it is traditional for people to give gifts or charity boxes to those in need, such as the elderly, the poor, and those who serve in the armed forces. In some areas, it is also a time to watch sports events and spend time with family.
