Say Bells Ring

We don’t have snow so; there are no sleighs or sleigh bells ringing. What we do have is colorful homes adorned with bright colored lights. Driving around the Island is quite an experience, seeing all the variety expressed from the modes of the people. One place in Barbados that has become very popular is Bonnets in Britons Hill.

Say Bells Ring

Sometime a few neighbors hung lights in trees

And the next year there were more of these

Yesterday we went on a drive to see

Bonnets alit throughout its community

Every house had flashing and dancing lights

Lights that separated this community from the Heights

Look again if you can and you to might see

Such character spreading throughout the community

Regency Park and Fort George were not the same

It was hard to believe they knew that Jesus came

No sign of Christmas or any celebration

Sleigh Bells Ring only played on their television
