AHC: United States celebrates Boxing Day

Okay.

A non-religious national holiday (thus allowing the First Amendment not to apply) ostensibly justified (as a "compelling state interest," if some secularist tinker sues over it) as a holiday for labor, for giving charity-boxes to the poor of the community, and for giving servants a day off to see their families ... and formally justified as having been instituted to commemorate the Battle of Trenton.

Next?
 
Cool.

Unlike retail workers in the United States who often work till 6pm on Christmas Eve, and then stay later in order to put the store back together. And then for the big after Christmas sales have to come in at 7am or earlier on the 26th.
 
Er....

To clarify ... I wasn't explaining Boxing Day; I was answering the challenge. Although it does in part serve for both. Except for the Battle of Trenton part. And the First Amendment concerns. And the "non-religious" camouflage of what was in origin a religious holiday.

But, yes, it was to give the servants a day off and their Christmas boxes (bonuses), and often to distribute the parish alms-box contents (if any) to the deserving poor (if any).
 
I think you'll have more luck establishing Football and Baseball Days, they are more popular sports. :p

Superbowl Sunday is already a holiday even if in a sunday so that cover Football one, for Baseball you would need not world series or just a Baseball Bowl in one single day that or declare Game 4 or Game 7 of World Series as the holiday(or the day after world series the baseball day so the winning team can celebrated and losing one can cry all day long)
 
Well we could probably at least get them in on the boxing day sales. Americans seem to love sales (almost as much as the British apparently).
