On Christmas Eve, we excitedly took a trip to the shopping
district. The roads were packed with
shoppers and hawkers. There were vendors
on both sides of the street making it difficult to walk on the pavement. Firecrackers went off “Bang! Bang!” Whistles
and horns blaring in the esthetic Christmas air. They were tons of toys and
lots of food for sale.
Of course, one cannot leave out the
masquerade dancers they were fun.
Accompanied by flute players and drummers making merry music. Joining
them was the scary “Mad Bull with his horns and fearsome face. Then there was the Granny long lady on stilts
with her face painted white. “Man is
fun.” The masquerade dancers and the
flouncing musicians singing and chanting ‘Christmas comes but once a year so
drinks your rum and tumble down, “Bato, Bato”!
Christmas comes but once a year so flounce if you flouncing “Bato,
Bato”! Christmas comes but once a year
so wine and tumble down on the ground “Bato, Bato”!
Up the road
there steel pan players beating out sweet carols at a bouncy calypso beat. In
addition, girls and boys, women and men dancing up a storm to the rhythm of
Christmas calypso music.
Oh! Boy I
love this Christmas season.
