Boxing Day, the day after Christmas in the UK Canada and many other commonwealth countries, is roughly concurrent with the religious holiday for St Stephen the martyr (see first photo).
Boxing Day is a day that you eat leftovers, and share your bounty with those less fortunate. Fritters, anyone?

Retour n°4 (Return #4), 1956 - Frederick Hammersley (1919-2009), peintre abstrait américain. Figure majeure du mouvement hard-edge, son œuvre se caractérise par des formes géométriques nettes, des aplats de couleur et une grande rigueur formelle.
