The attached [[bank holiday]] or [[public holiday]] may take place on 28 December if necessary to ensure it falls on a weekday.<!-- Do not expand this in the Lead; it is explained correctly in the Date sub-section--> Boxing Day is also concurrent with the Christian festival [[Saint Stephen's Day]]. |
