I would just like to wish my audience a Merry Christmas and a happy new year, when it comes and goes. It is a time of giving and sharing, it is a time to remember those less fortunate than our selves and most of all it is a time to remember the birth of "Jesus Christ".
Most people in Jamaican society see Christmas as a time of struggle, a time to feel depressed because they can't afford the latest outfit or can't spend money the way they want, that is because they are fixed on vanity and has lost the true understanding of Christmas. But i also blame it on the culture, most business owners tend to reduce their purchases of services during the holidays and focus primarily on physical products, so service based businesses become hard hit this time of year.
Vendors and store owners make good money this time of year, because its their last chance to clear all of their piling inventory gathered throughout the year, and end their financial cycle with success, however this is not the case for all vendors.
Christmas is just a time that signals to society that the world needs more love and unity, the world needs more peace and prosperity, but in these modern times the world is far from it. There is a huge cultural divide between Christians and Muslins, race and class, and many other types of divisions that weaken unity amongst our fellowmen within society.
So whether you are rich or poor, Christian or non-Christian, black or white, enjoy the holidays and all that it has to offer.
