In Indonesia, Boxing Day is celebrated on December 26th, similar to many other countries, but it does not have the same cultural significance. It is primarily recognized as a holiday following Christmas, allowing for continued festive celebrations. While some people may participate in shopping sales, it is not a widespread or traditional holiday in Indonesian culture. The day is generally observed as a time for relaxation and spending time with family after Christmas festivities.
It is estimated that around 230,000 people lost their lives in Indonesia as a result of the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004.
