Remembering Christmas in Jamaica a Long, Long Time Ago
Back when I was a boy, a long, long time ago, the Christmas season started about the middle of December and lasted until after New Year’s Day. It was a time for celebration, to look up old friends and make new ones, to eat, drink and be merry. Do Jamaicans still go from house to house, tasting one another’s plum pudding and toasting the season with a glass of sorrel or wine? We believed it brought us luck .On Christmas Day in America, I still look expectantly up the road but no one ever comes by.
