Traditions

Boxing Day

It takes place on the 26-th of December.
It's only celebrated in few countries.
It was started in the UK about 800 years ago.
Boxing Day is a public holiday in the UK,Canada and Australia.
The 26-th of December is also St.Stephen's day.

I picked this tradition because it seemed interesting and fun..
