Christmas around the world is a time to celebrate the holy birth of Lord Jesus and this is done with much enthusiasm. So is the case in the beautiful islands of Caribbean where Christmas indeed is the major festival. Christmas celebrations in Carribean are quite similar to those around the world, though the festival has some unique characteristics of its own to add to the joy of Christmas
During the festival, Carribean lights up with joy, the spirit of partying and having lots of fun with family and friends. In fact, it is kids who enjoy the Christmas celebrations in Carribean the most as they tie their socks on the beautifully decorated Xmas trees at night in the hope that Santa would come and fill it with exciting gifts such as chocolates, fruits, nuts and toys. However, Christmas in Carribean is a festival for people of all age groups and they all get together to enjoy every moment of it with much pomp and gaiety.
Just like Christmas around the world, all-night parties, grand feasts with a large, delectable menu, rocking music and foot-tapping dance, Mass or prayer ceremony and exchanging gifts are all an essential part of Carribean Christmas celebrations. But there’s something more that makes this festival all the more exciting in this part of the globe.
During the Christmas festival in Carribean, people dance on the streets with their faces hidden behind colorful masks, playing melodious Christmas music and rejoicing the pious birth of Lord Jesus. These “masquerade bands”, as they are famously known in the Carribean islands, are groups of local people wearing masks depicting the heads of animals like cow or horse; while some represent the police, devil or even women faces. These masks are used to scare the people around and are, in fact, a part of the game that is so sportingly and merrily played on the streets during Xmas celebrations in Carribean.
