【题目】 In Britain.Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th,which is the following day after Christmas Day.However,strictly speaking.Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day.Boxing Day sing a public holiday.This means it’s a non﹣working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday,the following Monday is the public holiday.
