Caribbean Christmas is such a different tradition. We have rice and peas with sweet potato 🍠.

It’s time for me to rest. We go to church ⛪️ to the choir.

My favourite ❤️ songs 🎵 are O Come All Ye Faithful and While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night.

Here are Donna’s Christmas poems:

A Christmas Project

Family celebration 🎉 of Christmas 🎄 once a year. We hang mistletoe on doors and windows.

It is the time 🕰️ of the year when everyone gives presents 🎁.

Putting presents 🎁 under the 🎄 Christmas tree.

Doing something different like making a gingerbread house 🏠.

It is time 🕰️ to spend with all men and women.

Time to have a pyjama party 🎉, for your friends to come with games that are lots of fun.

Time to make Christmas decorations.

It seems to be a winter 🥶 festival.

Christmas Bells 🔔

Bells are gold like the coins in the shop.

You buy presents 🎁 for your family.

Bell rings at the door for you.

To stay for the night on Christmas Eve.

Snowy Night 🌑

It is icy 🧊 on the ground that day.

From the snow ⛄️ that covers the road.

To the silence 🤫 of an empty road.

It is icy 🧊 on the road that day.

Snowflakes fall down from the sky.

🎄 Christmas At Night 🌑

It was dark that day.

You may see a ⛄️ snowman at night.

As snow ⛄️ falls from the 🌌 sky.

As snow falls onto the ground.

A girl sleeps 🛌 near a small candle 🕯️

But not lit 🔥 – that is safe.

It’s time to drink mulled wine 🍷 with your friends or family.

🦌 Reindeer In The Snow ⛄️

As Mary walked in the forest 🌳 when it was winter 🥶. A reindeer runs on a ⛄️ snowy hill that day.

Barney the reindeer stops nearby a frozen 🥶 spring to drink from the lake. Mary walked along the icy 🥶 path, his eyes gazing into Mary’s eyes.

Barney ran back up ⬆️ the hill. As Mary followed him to a field of 🦌 reindeer standing on the snow.

Mary walked down the snowy path to an open gate. It was cold and frosty ☃️ that morning.

She walked through the gate, never to see 🦌 reindeer again.

Here is a picture I did to go with this poem:
