      I wish we celebrated it in the US. Instead I have to go to work tomorrow hungover after drinking myself stupid and getting high as a kite.

      In addition to Christmas, the day after Christmas (Dec 26) is also celebrated/observed in many nations across the world.

      Across most of continental Europe, Saint Stephen’s Day or the Second Day of Christmas is celebrated with most nations listing it as a public holiday with each nation holding distinct practices as part of the tradition.

      In the UK and several commonwealth nations across 6 different continents, Dec 26 is known as Boxing Day and it is a public holiday in every country highlighted in green. In the UK/Canada/Australia/NZ, boxing day is often seen as a day of shopping where many stores hold major discounts for people to buy gifts for loved ones. Additionally, in most commonwealth realm countries overall, a boxing day-related sporting fixture also occurs ranging from football fixtures in England, test cricket in Australia, junior hockey in Canada, boxing in Anglo-Caribbean/African nations, as well as in Rugby League in participating countries.

      As a Canadian, the word ‘celebrate’ is doing a lot of work, here. The 26th gets called ‘boxing day’, and post Christmas sales might be called ‘Boxing day (and then ‘boxing week’) sales’, but that’s all the celebratin’ we might do. And this is only English Canada. If the 26th has a name in French Canada, I have never heard it.

      Americans really hate time off, don’t they?

      So passionate about their jobs, it’s admirable.

      It’s not a thing at the national level in Spain unlike the 25th that is a national holiday, just some regions, mainly Catalonia.

      Lol, thanks for including Hong Kong. I’m Cantonese American and I never understood what my hk relatives were talking about

      In Spain, only the Catalonia region cares about celebrating Saint Stephen’s Day every December 26 of the year.
