I still find it a little odd hearing Christmas music all the time whilst wandering around in the blaring heat outside. Still, I'm getting more of a feel for it as the landlady provided us with some decorations which have certainly enhanced the bachelor pad.
Last night I went to the Scotia Bank Christmas carol trip around Georgetown delivering hampers
to six homes for children and the elderly. We were led by a truck with a small band singing soca Christmas carols (occasionally sneaking other words in, like "We wish you a Scotia Christmas" and "Sco-o-o-o-o-otiabank" replacing gloria in Ding Dong Merilly on high). Everyone else followed on a number of donkey (read horse) carts, some were part of a competition and were dressed as various Christmassy things which was an entertaining sight.
The less adventurous followed in cars, and perhaps this was not a bad idea as I gather someone was hospitalised after catching their foot in a wheel and there have been other accidents in previous years. Anyway it was good fun and as you can see I got into the Christmas spirit...
