So a logical argument is that Xmas and boxing days cannot be on the same day hence the pushing of boxing day to Tuesday 27th Dec. We need time to open the gift boxes

Boxing Day is a Public Holiday under the Public Holidays Act but it is not a National Holiday under the Constitution. Neither are Christmas, Easter Monday, Good Friday etc National Holidays. Get that distinction??

Tafakari hii: "Under Section 4 of the Public Holidays Act, when public holiday falls on a Sunday (which 25th does)in any year, then the first succeeding day (26th),NOT being a public holiday (but it is, therefore carry forward to Tuesday), shall be a public Holiday and the first-mentioned day (25th) shall cease to be a Public Holiday."

That means only if the first succeeding day is not a holiday we have a holiday on that day. if it is also an holiday (like in this case 26th) then no further holiday is given!! hi maneno ya carry forward acha!!. When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.
