Boxing Day mo.
Answer:
DEC
Hint:
This month marks the end of the year and follows the big turkey-feast holiday in many countries.
Explanation:
"Boxing Day" is the holiday observed the day after Christmas, which always falls on December 26. The clue adds "mo." as shorthand for "month," so you’re looking for the abbreviation of December. That makes "DEC" the straightforward answer, since it’s the three-letter code for the month when Boxing Day occurs.
