About this holiday
Celebrated in Ghana on December 26th (also known as Offering Day), Boxing Day follows Christmas Day. Although its origins are in the UK, it is observed in several Commonwealth nations. While originally dedicated to charity, its celebration is now part of general Christmas festivities. The holiday may be adjusted to December 27th or 28th to ensure it falls on a weekday.
