NOTE
I f Ponce de Leon had ever tired of searching for the fountain of youth , he may have been contented to find Barbados – “ A Jewel of the Caribbean ”. Barbados would have enchanted him with crystal clear waters , brilliant blue skies , a fascinating culture and the warmth of the islands people . Visitors who travel to the island are pleasantly surprised to find all that and much more . But behind the guise of palm trees , turquoise seas and smiling faces , there ’ s something hidden that visitors who flock to this island gem , would never know …
November in Barbados is the beginning of an all out war ! Yes ! War ! But not the kind you think ! It ’ s a decorative feud between Independence Day ( November 30 th ) and Christmas . And the battle that ensues takes place in homes , stores , the media and in the minds of thousands of Barbadians . While the decision of whether to don the blue , yellow and black or trim the tree is not as difficult as what Christmas gifts to buy this season , it ’ s always fun to see it unfold . When will the first Christmas song play ? When will the lights go on and the decorations go up ? Just what will happen this year ? Whatever your decision , we hope that your season will be filled with the warmth of family , friends and God ’ s blessings for a Happy Independence , a Merry Christmas & a joyous New Year . Happy Reading !
