History and Significance: Boxing Day, observed on December 26th, is a public holiday in Ghana following Christmas Day. The holiday has its origins in the British tradition, as Ghana was a British colony until its independence in 1957. Historically, it was the day when the wealthy would box up gifts to give to their servants and the poor. The name "Boxing Day" is derived from this tradition of giving "Christmas boxes."
Traditions: In Ghana, Boxing Day is a time for continuing the Christmas celebrations. While it does not have specific rituals tied to its observance as in some other countries, it remains a day for relaxation and socializing.
