A Very Merry Guyanese Christmas!
My dad sent me this video. Even though my whole family and I were born in Guyana and we lived there until I was 3, we haven’t been back too many times. But, we did go there once for Christmas when I was 19. That was, without a doubt, the best Christmas ever. Guyanese people do Christmas BIG. We were with my Godmother’s family that year. The food was endless and the rum was flowing. We dipped into 100 year old pepper pot and drank an amazing 25 year old Demerara rum. This year, we’ll be in California where we belong, but my mother is already adding to last year’s pepper pot and my dad is planning to crack open a bottle of 15 year old. I never realize just how Guyanese I am until I go home for Christmas. Anyway, wishing you all a very merry Guyanese Christmas. I’ll save some garlic pork for you!
