About Second Day of Christmas

The second day of Christmas falls on 26 December, the day after Christmas Day. In a number of countries the Christmas holiday traditionally lasts two days, and this second day is a public holiday. In many Western churches the date is also the feast of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr.

Traditions

The day is usually spent continuing the Christmas celebrations at a more relaxed pace: visiting relatives and friends who were not seen on Christmas Day, attending church, going for walks and sharing further festive meals.
