About this holiday
Boxing Day (also known as Offering Day) is a public holiday observed on December 26th in Guyana. While it originated in the UK for gift donation, it is now integrated into general Christmas festivities. The date may shift to December 27th or 28th if needed to ensure it falls on a weekday. It can sometimes coincide with Saint Stephen's Day.
