Hooray, Ghanaians! Get ready for an extra sprinkle of joy and relaxation next week because we’re in for a holiday treat thanks to Constitution Day and a special presidential declaration. Mark your calendars, set your alarms for snoozing (or celebratory shenanigans!), and dive into this double dose of festivity!
Monday 8th January is a public holiday in Ghana
Since the day falls on Sunday, January 7th, the holiday will be observed on Monday 8th January 2024.
First up, let’s celebrate the cornerstone of our nation:
Constitution Day: On Sunday, January 7th, we commemorate the birth of our constitution, the document that defines our rights, responsibilities, and the very fabric of our democracy. Take a moment to reflect on its importance, engage in meaningful discussions about its principles, and maybe even brush up on your constitutional knowledge (bonus points for impressing your family at dinner!).
Beyond the official: Let’s not forget the spirit of Constitution Day. It’s a day to celebrate unity, diversity, and the values we hold dear as Ghanaians. Share a meal with your community, engage in cultural activities, or volunteer for a cause close to your heart. Every action, big or small, can be a way to honor the spirit of our constitution.
But wait, there’s more!
An Extra Day of Joy: Thanks to the kind and wise decision of our president, Monday, January 8th, is also a public holiday. Use this bonus day to:
Rest and recharge: After the hustle and bustle of the festive season, this is the perfect opportunity to unwind, catch up on sleep, and pamper yourself. Plan a day at the beach, indulge in a spa treatment, or simply curl up with a good book.
Spend quality time with loved ones: No need to rush back to the routine! Use this extra day to reconnect with family and friends, create new memories, and strengthen those precious bonds. Play games, cook together, or simply have meaningful conversations.
Explore something new: Always wanted to try a new hobby or visit a nearby attraction? This is your chance! Embark on a spontaneous adventure, discover hidden gems in your city, or finally learn that dance move you’ve been eyeing.
Remember, Ghanaians, this double holiday is a gift to be cherished. Embrace the spirit of celebration, honor our constitution, and above all, make the most of these extra precious moments. Let’s fill this two-day break with joy, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. Happy Constitution Day and a happy Monday holiday to all!
The President has declared Monday as an additional holiday throughout the country.
