In some countries like England and Canada, the day after December 25th, Christmas Day, there is also an important festival. It is Boxing Day(节礼日). When Boxing Day comes on a Saturday or Sunday, people always celebrate it next Monday.
Do you know the origin of Boxing Day? In the old days, when Christmas Day came, the servants(仆人) in rich(富有的) families were really busy getting ready for the festival.
