Christmas is coming and the fowl is getting fat please put a ten cent in the young ladies hat.
It’s that special time of year once again. All the little children are so excited and so jolly. They wonder what Santa has in store for them on that wonderful day of Christmas. The malls are packed, no parking, everyone's rushing to start or to finalize their Christmas shopping. The Christmas trees are up and decorated with beautiful ornaments. It’s snowing which puts everyone in the Christmas spirit.
In Greensburg, I don’t really know how their celebration occurs, but when I return to Jamaica for Christmas break everything is going be different for me. It’s going to be a big celebration. Christmas time is one of our biggest holiday celebrations, except for our independence day which is in August 6. During this season, we have three nights of celebration. The first night is Christmas Eve; the second night is Christmas night and the third night is after Christmas which we call Boxing Day; in recognition for our boxers.

We have dinner with family and friends during the day then at nights we all go to the city of Montego Bay and dance and have a great time. Each and every night, there are thousands of people there and ready for the celebration. From children who have a curfew to adults who party until the dawn. Each celebration ends at dawn and everyone will discuss the things they did the next morning it’s a great experience. One year my cousin and I got lost downtown and ended up and this hotel party. I guess we looked older than our age because they let us enter the ball room. Everyone was dancing to ballroom music. It was a very classy event; an event that doesn't occur on a everday basics. It was fun and one of the best Christmas I ever had. If anyone ever decides on a perfect time to travel to Jamaica; the Christmas seasons would be the time.
