Boxing Day

When is Boxing Day?

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on the following day after Christmas Day, that's 26th December. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. 

Boxing Day is a public holiday.  When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday the following Monday is the public holiday. 

Why is 26 December called Boxing Day?

Traditionally, 26 December was the day to open the Christmas Box to share the contents with the poor. The Christmas box was a wooden or clay container where people placed gifts.

A very special gift to my students

I have put a special touch in every task designed. When I look at those smiling faces, immediately I find every effort made rewarding and worthwhile, which renews my commitment for future times to come.

May the Spirit of Christmas make your wishes come true so that you may live in
Freedom,
Peace,
Love and
Respect.
