Christmas
I
t was Christmas time again, which meant that
my family was making the long awaited journey
from North America and around the Caribbean to
be with their siblings and families at the old
family home.
We had been planning this get together since my
grandfather passed, but it finally happened when
my grandma died. We only had one aunt and one
uncle from that generation. My aunts and uncles
were living all around the world, some with their
own families in the cold, trying to make a future
for themselves while their children were at home
being taken care of by another sibling. This time,
Christmas time, was the only time we were all a
big happy family again.
As the rented cars rolled up to the gate of the old
family home there were the children and their
older siblings as well as the neighbours who came
out to greet them.
