Boxing Day is a holiday observed in the United Kingdom and much of the the British Commonwealth. Traditionally, servants received Christmas gifts from their employers on December 26, after the family celebrations. Boxing Day is now a public holiday, and occurs on the first day after Christmas that would otherwise be a working day (Dec. 26 unless that falls on a weekend).
