In Finland, Boxing Day is celebrated in many different ways. For many, it is a day to relax and enjoy the peace after Christmas. For others, it can be a day when we go on nature trips or participate in various events. Some may also take advantage of the day, for example, to shop at discount sales.<\/p>\n

The traditions of Boxing Day also include various food traditions. Many families eat leftovers from Christmas, such as ham and boxes. On Boxing Day, it can also be customary to eat, for example, pea soup or other traditional dishes.<\/p>\n
