It is the joyous Christmas season that is upon us. Unlike any other holiday, Christmas is the most special. It is a day in the year that reminds us that we are here for something else besides ourselves. It softens our hearts, brings people together and evokes the spirit of genuine thanksgiving in this Festive Season. Our Nation unites to pray, give thanks and celebrate life. We are blessed to be living on these 37 square miles of our unique island. The very things that make us unique, are those that we should endeavor to preserve. Our multi- cultural society, sportsmanship, friendliness, hospitality and values are to be celebrated throughout this season and throughout the coming year.
As a Ministry we uphold Christian values of Christmas and believe that it is Christmas our hearts that puts Christmas in the air. Therefore we encourage you throughout this season to be a blessing to one and other and to those in need. To remember those that are sick, weak or unable to celebrate the festivities in grandeur. To give the gift of love as we have received it from our Father. The magic of Christmas remind us that God gave us the ultimate gift of love, His Son!
May the spirit of Christmas, the echo of the carols and the lights of the Christmas tree bring happiness and joy into your life and home.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year
Minister of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports
