Britain, does not enjoy the most public holidays in The European Union, Italy, claims that honor.
However England does celebrate the Queens birthday.
Boxing day, or St. Stephens day, the day after Christmas, is called that because it was the day on which, people brought donations to the churches to place in the boxes for the poor.
Most people in Britain take their holiday in summer and go abroad to the coasts of Spain, France, and Italy, which all the cheaper airlines offer special flights to during July and early August, when Britain itself is flooded with Tourists who come to see Britain.
