World Calendar Day
Boxing Day
The Test cricket starts at the MCG. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race starts in the harbour. The sales start online at midnight. And every Australian who ate too much yesterday is on the couch watching cricket they would not normally watch because it is Boxing Day and that is what you do.

Andre Juledag
The second day of Christmas is a public holiday in Norway, and the tradition is to visit friends and extended family. The day is named after St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and the Norwegian name "St. Stefansdag" reflects the older tradition. In modern Norway, the day is an opportunity for a second Christmas dinner and more time with family.
