Happy Boxing Day!

The flurry of wrapping paper has settled, and the feast-induced food coma is slowly wearing off, but it turns out the holiday season isn't quite over! December 26 marks Boxing Day—an opportunity to keep the festive spirit going or to conquer the Boxing Day sales during a walk through Princes Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, seen here. This day is observed by the United Kingdom and several Commonwealth members, including Canada and Australia. The origin of the day is thought to come from the old tradition of giving 'boxes' filled with presents to people in need on the day after Christmas. Although this holiday is still associated with giving gifts, it also has various customs. For example, horse racing events are held across the United Kingdom, including the historic King George VI Chase at Kempton Park racecourse. Whether you're enjoying leftover mince pie or unboxing a shiny new purchase, just make sure to enjoy it!
