Business News of Friday, 26 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comBoxing Day, observed on December 26, has its roots in centuries-old traditions of charity and service that emerged in Britain. The origins of the day trace back to St Stephen’s Day, which is commemorated on December 26. During the Victorian era, Boxing Day also became the day when household servants who worked on Christmas Day were given time off and presented with “Christmas boxes” from their employers. Today, Boxing Day is widely regarded as a time to recover after Christmas celebrations. Though its meaning has evolved over time, Boxing Day remains a reminder that the joy of Christmas finds its fullest expression not in receiving, but in sharing.
