Boxing Day is Dec 26th, the day after Christmas Day in the UK. In olden times the servants would go round to the boss's manor or mansion with a box hoping for donations of money, maybe leftover food. It was the day those who worked in the grand house cooking and serving could have the day after off to be with their own families.
Boxing Day is a second day off work in the UK and several of the old Commonwealth countries.
Boxing Day sales start in the shops. If you don't like crowds, Boxing Day sales start on line and are extended as Boxing Week until New Year.
In Singapore the Xmas decorations come down on malls because they are no longer selling Xmas goods which were prolific in the run-up to Christmas. However, in many places Xmas decorations stay up until 12th night, Jan 6th.
