Boxing Day.  \n\nAccording to a good Canadian site: \n\nThe day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. The term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients. \n\nNowadays, we often see, in certain families, gifts (boxes) given to those who provide services throughout the year.

Christmas=Turkey (in most colder parts of the world), christmas pudding, christmas cake and generally lots and lots of food!\n\nShrove Tuesday = Pancakes\n\nEaster=Lamb (easter eggs!)\n\nFor Welsh People on St Davids Day (our patron day) we eat traditional Welsh food such as Cawl, bara brith, bara lawr and welshcakes.\n\nI'm afraid thats all I really know about so probably not much use!

I think the answer to your question is yes, but only briefly. The world is divided into 24 time zones. Each one corresponds with an hour of the day. So when it becomes December 25th (12:00 a.m.) in the last time zone, it is 11:00 p.m. in the first time zone, if I have done my math right. So for one hour, it is christmas day all over the world.

Never, of course. They are two completely separate dates and thus they can not by definition ever fall on the same day of the year, silly. (When was the last time Christmas and Easter fell on the same day of the year? Did you wake up and hunt Easter eggs while at the same time you were opening your presents from Santa?)

Ironically as I understand it there is NO legal right to a so called 'bank holiday' as a day off or to take it as a day in lieu if it falls on a normal day off. I have just quickly confirmed this is correct, type in 'bank holiday working legislation' in google and there is a mass of info for you. Obviously many even most employers do treat bank holidays as a day you are entitled to but you appear perhaps to be working for a 21st century Mr. Scrooge. Also traditionally certain trades esp the building trades always close at Christmas and new year for obvious reasons and, depending upon the terms of employment they might be agreed to be part of your holiday entitlement over which you have no option but to accept what your employer says. You should ask to see your contract of employment, every employee is entitled to one. If you still can not find the answers try your local citizens advise centre, & or the library and they may help you with useful links or local advice centres.

I call your question almost entirely unintelligible.\n\nBut if you mean what do we call our equivalent of your Veterans Day then the answer is Remembrance Day.\n\nAnd it's not just in England. England is one country within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It also includes Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.\n\nsee my recent answer on Remembrance Day at>>>\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhpXG7t1YHCYq_h.g_dW5rTsy6IX?qid=20061112121321AALUS8V

The 26th of December.  On this day, upper-class households in Britain and the Commonwealth traditionally gave (boxed) presents to their household staff.

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas becasue you'd get new stuff on Christmas, then the next day you would "box up" all your old stuff you didn't need and give it to the poor. Hence, Boxing Day.

THE NIGHT BEFORE XMAS?

I believe Boxing Day is when the rich box up their presents to make room for new presents, and they give the old presents to their servents.  The servents get the day off and celebrate.
