2nd Christmas Day History

Second Christmas Day is a time for socialising with friends and family. It is celebrated in Sweden the day after Christmas. The themes and activities of the day are very similar to Christmas day itself, although they may incorporate a wider network of people. The day also marks the start of bandy season; the second most popular winter sport in the world. The game itself is similar to ice hockey and has been played in Sweden since 1895.

Second Christmas Day is on December 26. Church services are held but not to the extent that they used to be, there are well wishing messages from public figures and public services, shops and public attractions will be operating on different hours.

True story: there is a White House staffer going around the Senate delivering to each office, as a package, the incoherent, scathing Pelosi letter AND...wait for it...a giant 16x12 White House Christmas card (along with, implausibly, a second smaller Christmas card). What a day. https://t.co/y8gZuQbipl
