圣斯蒂芬节快乐(Happy St. Stephen's Day)
你知道吗,在加泰罗尼亚和巴利阿里群岛,12月26日也是“拳击日”或圣诞节的第二天?虽然这一天不像英国那么出名,但它为继续圣诞节庆祝活动提供了一个特殊的机会。“拳击日”起源于英国,扩展到英联邦国家,传统上在这些国家提供带有服务礼物的盒子。今天,它的传统是多样化的:从历史悠久的乔治六世国王追逐的激动人心的赛马,到加拿大的曲棍球比赛。在西班牙,虽然我们没有这些习俗,但我们能创造自己的“拳击日”,享受我们土地的冬季美景,也许可以在大自然中散步?利用这一天继续享受圣诞节的魔力!

Do you know that in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, December 26th is also the second day of Boxing Day or Christmas? Although this day is not as famous as in the UK, it provides a special opportunity to continue Christmas celebrations. Boxing Day originated in the UK and expanded to Commonwealth countries, traditionally offering boxes with service gifts in these countries. Today, its traditions are diverse: from the thrilling horse races pursued by King George VI with a long history to the field hockey competition in Canada. In Spain, although we don't have these customs, can we create our own "boxing day", enjoy the winter scenery of our land, and perhaps take a walk in nature? Use this day to continue enjoying the magic of Christmas!
