Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Catherine and today we have another holiday lesson for you guys.
It's an intermediate level lesson, but it's not about Christmas and it's not about New Year's.
So what's this holiday?
It's like after Christmas, but before New Year's.
Okay, so let's look at this holiday in today's vocabulary preview.
Vocabulary preview.
All right, so as you noticed in the title, this is called Boxing Day.
Boom, boom, boom.
So like fighting boxing.
No, no, no.
Kind of like boxes, right?
It's more related to boxes.
Exactly.
So this is a holiday that we don't actually celebrate in America.
It's celebrated in what are called Commonwealth countries.
That means countries that used to be a part of Great Britain or that are a part of Great Britain,
so England, Scotland, Canada, Australia.
And this is a day where, well, It's considered a holiday because it's a bank holiday.
