Oh Little Town

A part of the Christmas spirit is surely in the shopping for gifts. If you like Christmas, you most probably like the gifts giving associated with it. You probably like the idea of the Christmas birth and the Christmas story. You probably glorified the picture in your head even though you know the challenges that the baby Jesus faced. If you are like most, the truth of the manger birth is superseded by the association of gifts. So, you do everything to perpetuate this giving of gifts

Oh Little Town

On the streets of Bridgetown, they rush to buy their ware

Have no time to stop and chat, they’re shopping everywhere

Let there be no closing early, they expect to shop till late

It’s now the standard for Bajans, the way they celebrate

To mark this great occasion, they buy gifts for all their friends

Then deliver them to everyone before the season ends

Lights blink a welcome at the door to invite the shoppers in

Excited shoppers clamor for more and wish it were everlasting

Then bags filled and all done, they rush on their way

Once all is bought and finalized, their hustle was A okay

When next you see our little Town, all is quiet as a mouse

No one’s there, they disappear, it’s Christmas in their house
