JAMAICA'S GREATEST ERA - THE FESTIVE SEASON 

This lady mek me feel homesick. Good old days gone forever 😫😫😫😩

Great job Kareem keep our history alive thank you

I remember pick balloons as a child

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

I love her . That is exactly how it was

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.🇯🇲🇺🇸

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

Wow remember. Those good old day omg bring.me back

Kareem, she is really telling it like it was. We had so much fun , The Jamaican Christmas Spirit was the best, joyful

Happy Easter Season 💛💚🖤

Please bring back Paradise Plum candy..❤

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.

Then life was good that was the real Jamaica.

Kareem you are doing God's work. Keep up the great work. You are giving inspiration to many. Cheers. Many blessings to you

A lot of vendors take off the 31 off the chance so you can't get the big balloon🇯🇲😂

Sounds like a simple and lovely Christmas!! I do remember the balloons.
