Why Christmas & Boxing Day Got “Bumped”
Here’s where it gets quirky! In 2021, Christmas Day and Boxing Day fell on a weekend. UK rules say when this happens, the holidays “roll over” to the next weekday. That’s why Londoners got December 27-28 off instead!
How 2021 Compared to Other Years
Typically, England gets 8 bank holidays yearly. But 2022 was special—an extra day for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee bumped it to 9! Pro tip: Always check for one-time events (like royal celebrations) that might add bonus time off.
