You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Some of the countries are: UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Greenland, New Zeland, Nigeria and also in Hong Kong

In Italy it is called Santo Stefano (St. Stephens) day and it is commonly joked with the children that their toys last from Christmas day (Dec 25)to St. Stephens (Dec 26).

And according to Wikipedia Boxing day "The establishment of Boxing Day as a defined public Holiday under the legislation that created the UK's Bank Holidays started the separation of 'Boxing Day' from the 'Feast of St Stephen' and today it is almost entirely a secular holiday with a tradition of shopping and post Christmas sales starting"

There are five countries that celebrate Boxing Day, among them are Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, and other Commonwealth Countries.

Boxing day means giving gifts after Christmas day, which is December 26th, by the Upper social class to the Lower social class. This celebration was originated from England in the middle of the 19th Century.
