United States Edition
Boxing Day leads today's complete edition for United States.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
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.
Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a professor of Black Studies at California State University. Kwanzaa is a seven-day celebration of African American culture and community, from December 26th to January 1st. The seven principles (Nguzo Saba) are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Each day, a candle is lit on the kinara. The holiday is not religious. It is cultural. It is observed by millions of African Americans alongside Christmas, not instead of it.
