I'm a Jamaican living in the UK and I am 60 years old and your voice brings some much memory to me thank you
This lady mek me feel homesick. Good old days gone forever 😫😫😫😩
I remember pick balloons as a child
I love her . That is exactly how it was
I'm telling you. Listening to her I feel like void emptiness. Just missing those days. Thank you Kareem❤❤❤
Yes, duties were gender biased. My job was to do the yard, paint the tree trunks, and shine up the car port. I also enjoyed going to the shop and using the change to try for the big balloon. We also went for “walk outs” to see the different Christmas trees in the neighborhood. She is spot on. Great memories.🇯🇲🇺🇸
Great job Kareem keep our history alive thank you
Thank you, I will
She is right, it was not about the gifts , there was barely any such thing for most people. ( who could afford that? ) but it was the fun , it was the camaraderie, the bonding , the love , the merriment. She is making me so happy. because that is the Jamaica I know
Kareem, she is really telling it like it was. We had so much fun , The Jamaican Christmas Spirit was the best, joyful
Wow remember. Those good old day omg bring.me back
Big balloon was extremely hard to win!!!
Lovely memories! Christmas Eve evening was spent at Southdale Plaza, ending with Oopsi Doo ice cream, not sure of the spelling 😊 Christmas Day was either at my grandmother’s, aunt’s or sometimes my parents hosted the family gathering. Lovely tea set by the way. Yes duck bread was something I looked forward to.
Happy Easter Season 💛💚🖤
Please bring back Paradise Plum candy..❤
For real
That lady just gives me the Christmas SPIRIT
Kareem you are doing God's work. Keep up the great work. You are giving inspiration to many. Cheers. Many blessings to you
Thanks, I will
A lot of vendors take off the 31 off the chance so you can't get the big balloon🇯🇲😂
Exactly
Sounds like a simple and lovely Christmas!! I do remember the balloons.
Then life was good that was the real Jamaica.
Yes Ladyso true each time I think of those beautiful golden days I feel like I wanna cry people there were more poor people more than rich in those day but you know what everybody was happy with each other people love each other have each other back and always be saying kind words to each other and happy for each other when they see their friends and families susceeding man those days were glorious day people never have money but live their lives humble and happy
I really enjoyed this episode. I grew up in Guyana in the 70's and 80's and l can relate to everything that she spoke about. What is interesting is that my siblings and friends whom l grew up with to this day the joy and memories of Christmas we have created with our own families in England, Canada and the USA.
Happy to know you enjoyed it
