The origin of Boxing Day is mainly attributed to British tradition.
It was traditionally a day off for servants, who would receive gifts from their employers to take home to their families.
The "boxes" refer to the gifts given on this day.
Traditions
In St. Barts, which is predominantly French-speaking and culturally aligned with France, Boxing Day does not hold the same significance as in Commonwealth nations.
However, due to its status as a luxury tourist destination with diverse international visitors, some elements of Boxing Day have been adopted and are recognized by expatriates and tourists from countries where the holiday is celebrated more widely.
Activities
While there may not be specific traditions unique to St. Barts for Boxing Day, it generally serves as an extended part of the Christmas holiday.
People often spend time relaxing with family and friends on this public holiday.
Activities might include enjoying the island's beautiful beaches, sailing, or participating in post-Christmas sales at shops catering to tourists.
Restaurants and hotels may offer special events or menus for guests looking to continue their festive celebrations.
In summary, while Boxing Day is not a traditional holiday in St. Barts with unique customs associated with it like in some other countries, it acts as an extension of the Christmas festivities and provides an additional day off for relaxation and enjoyment on this Caribbean island.
