The Governor told the groups, “Christmas is a time for joy and celebration, inspired by the birth of Jesus Christ, and it is certainly beginning to look a lot like Christmas in BVI. I hope you are enjoying the Christmas decorations, treats and festive songs and have a blessed New Year.”

Activites included face painting, dancing, storytelling, and a Santa Claus visit with gift-giving. The Christmas Party is an annual event hosted by the Governor for children and young adults of the community.
