My cherished Jamaican community in the Diaspora, as well as our esteemed Friends of Jamaica, I, together with the dedicated staff at the Consulate General of Jamaica in New York, am delighted to extend to you and your families our warmest greetings as we celebrate the Christmas season of 2023.
Christmas is a time when we come together, surrounded by family and friends, to share in the joy and warmth that defines this special time of year. It’s a season of giving, a chance to spread cheer to those we love and to reach out with kindness to those who are less fortunate in our communities.
Our vibrant Jamaican Christmas traditions, from the delicious feasts and the rich, sweet Christmas cakes to our reggae-infused carols and the festive Grand Market, continue to bring a unique Jamaican spirit to our celebrations, both here in the United States and across the globe. Our ongoing commitment to charitable endeavors, including toy drives and fundraising events, plays a vital role in making a positive impact within our communities.
I want to express my sincere appreciation to the Jamaican Diaspora and Friends of Jamaica for your continued support and contribution towards our common vision for a flourishing and prosperous Jamaica. As we look forward to 2024, we are encouraged by the prospects of economic growth, with Jamaica poised for a bright future.
Reflecting on this past year, we have shared many significant moments together, further strengthening the bonds of our community and celebrating our rich cultural heritage.
As we gather during this festive season, may your homes be filled with love, peace, joy, and good health. Let this Christmas be a time to reinforce the bonds that unite us and inspire our nation towards greater heights.
In our joint efforts to build a more prosperous and peaceful Jamaica, let us embrace the spirit of unity and hope.
From my family to yours, we send you our best wishes for happiness, health, love, and peace during this holiday season.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
