When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool.
CHINUA ACHEBE, A GUYANESE XMAS Â When I look back on my life Before I had my loving wife I remember from my childhood file The good old Xmas Guyanese style Long before Xmas December 25th would come My village was astir be you foe or either chum Folks preparing the home with drapes and blinds And the Xmas cake by grinding fruits of all kinds
Whoever had the oven firing it up with care As friends and neighbours go over to share Before December 25th  with the sweet aroma Every mother waiting in line up with her quota With buckets of mixed cakes ready Thatâs where would be the activity With the women gossiping And kids and pets frolicking A fairylike atmosphere is taken on With very happy banter by everyone And setting the cool jinger beer Was done by an elder with care  What a blessed country with some of the best fruits Maybe itâs the silt of the rivers making good roots Most Guyanese have very good lungs Is it because of the sandy fine dungs Guyanese girls have the sweetest lips Is it because of the ripe juicy genips We donât get cancer and have strong teeth Is it because of the sugar cane or laba meat No fruit can be compared with the sapodilla Star-apple, Buxton spice mango or the cowa Donât get me started on ground provisions bhaya! The eddoes, tanias, the bell yams and the cassava All boiled with coconut milk and hassar and lilâ bhagee And you have a delicious meal for the gods called metagee
A Guyanese Christmas is unique for sure Can never be understood by a NA culture Of hamburger, hotdogs and some spaghetti As I eating my dholl puri and mutton curry Our six peoples each have a tasty dish Some still enjoy foo foo and salt fish And from waterside to the sand reef Our Muslim brothers prefer their beef And from Corentyne or Buxton The Hindus mostly eat mutton During this time the air is filled with jukeboxes To describe it there arenât any modern phrases Blasting melodious Queh-queh, and chatney From a people known for their fine hospitality
There is no good or proper real Christmas over here Without a piece of fruitcake and a glass of ginger beer Here there thereâs so much stupid eye pass Some donât want you to say merry Xmas The faiths are so afraid to connect Cause youâve to be politically correct Keep your fake Xmas tree and darn snow Shoveling your snow only make me blow One day one day I hope in my lifetime alas! Yes I still can have my old Guyanese Xmas
AND YOU HAVE A MERRY XMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!
