According to the wikipedia entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_St._Stephen Poland doesnt celebrate St. Stephen's day... known as Boxing Day in the UK

How is this day, 26 December, celebrated amongst our Polish friends and what is it called...?

We don't, it is just second day of Christmas.We have day off to visit friends, family....still eat lots Christmas snacks.

For balance we celebrate Christmas Eve- not much celebrated in UK.

I have my Name Day on the 26th

Family tradition dictates that I spend this day in the kitchen, with a bottle of brandy, cooking the English version of Christmas dinner.

Polish Christmas first then an English one [a day late]
