Happy Boxing Day

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day. 

It originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor. 

Today, Boxing Day is celebrated or known as a shopping holiday.


Don't we all just love shopping...hahaha!

Let's shop wisely, bearing in mind that, there are other expenses to take care of after the Yuletide season.

Most importantly, let's embrace the true concept of Boxing Day, which is giving to the less privileged.


So, step out and bless someone this day.

Remember charity begins at home!

But this place of religious pilgrimage — where the New Testament says many of Jesus' miracles were performed — is facing a bleak future, CNN reports. The climate crisis is causing huge fluctuations in the lake's water levels. Now it happens to be fairly full, but just five years ago, it hit a record low. Climate change and unsustainable water management are leaving lakes dried up all over the Middle East and beyond, but the Israeli government is hopeful it has a solution: It plans to pump water from the Mediterranean sea, take the salt out of it and send it across the country to top up th...
