n the United States, what is the American term for Boxing Day?

 


While December 26 is not recognized as a holiday in the United States, unlike in countries that observe Boxing Day, it is not a designated day off from work or school. The traditions associated with Boxing Day, such as family gatherings, festive meals featuring baked ham and mince pies, and engaging in activities like horse racing and rugby, are not commonly observed in the U.S. On this day, Americans typically do not partake in the same customs that characterize Boxing Day celebrations in other parts of the world.


December 26 marks the annual celebration of Boxing Day. In the event that this date falls on a Saturday, the holiday is shifted to the subsequent Monday, allowing individuals to partake in the festivities that accompany this noteworthy occasion.

Boxing Day is observed in various countries, including England, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and South Africa. In Ireland, the day is referred to as St. Stephen's Day.
