The celebration of Half Christmas, also known as St. Stephen's Day, typically takes place on December 26th, the day after Christmas. It originated as a feast day to honor Saint Stephen, one of the early Christian saints, and has become associated with the gift-giving traditions of Christmas. In many countries, it is a time to exchange gifts and enjoy festive activities. Some people also refer to it as Boxing Day, a name derived from the practice of giving boxes of gifts to servants and other workers on the day after Christmas.
