Christmas Message From Jamaica’s PM Andrew Holness

December 25, 2021 | Vision Newspaper |

“Christmas is the most anticipated time of the year. It’s our Jamaican tradition to clean up, spruce up, and decorate our homes and communities, sometimes with a fresh coat of paint and some pepper light.

I believe we all know that it will not be Christmas as usual. Though we are happy at the signs of recovery so far and optimistic that it will continue to be robust and sharp, there are many Jamaicans who have not yet recovered livelihoods or income.

With God’s guidance and blessings, Jamaica is presently in a fair position with respect to the control and containment of the virus, but as we have seen, that can change in an instant, the very moment we drop our guard.

Already, the new variant is spreading rapidly in countries with whom we have close travel links, and several have imposed lockdowns and tighter measures.

I thank all Jamaicans who have acted responsibly throughout the pandemic, abiding by the protocols, and getting vaccinated. This Christmas, let’s rekindle our familial & community bonds, care for each other no matter the circumstances, little or plenty, sickness or health, let the light of hope, faith and love emanate from our hearts, through our homes and into our communities.

From my family to yours, have a safe, peaceful, joyous, and socially responsible Christmas.

Merry Christmas Jamaica!”
