GUYANA
A little known South American country jutting at the Northeasternly tip of the continent. Guyan is more Caribbean than anything even though her neighbors are Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname.
More likely than not her language (English) made her gravitate to her Caribbean counterparts where English is mostly spoken. When you consider Venezuela speaks Spanish, Brazil- Portugese and Suriname Dutch, the Caribbean seem a natural attraction.
Steeped in English customs, this country unlike it's Caribbean friends , which are mainly islands, celebrates Christmas in a very big way.Christmas carols and songs can be heard blaring at many shopping centers countrywide.
Pepper-pot and Black cake are two of the traditional food that is prepared by most households regardless of religion.
Some scenes from Christmas in Guyana.
