December 26, Boxing Day, is a holiday in Australia. People enjoy sporting matches on this day (for more on the day’s traditional sports, see St. Stephen’s Day). It serves as the occasion for a number of important events, including the Sydney-to-Hobart Yacht Race and opening day test match held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
