It is a widely-held belief, in Guyana and possibly the Caribbean, that men dislike Christmas because they are often burdened with the responsibility of cleaning and spending money. However, when it comes to my husband, I disagree with this notion.
As New Year’s Day 2024 will mark our first wedding anniversary, this will also be our first Christmas as a married couple. Since we chose not to “shack up” before getting married, this is an entirely new experience for us.
To say that I’m excited to be spending my first Christmas with my love, is an understatement. At first, we didn’t have any solid plans and didn’t even give it much thought, but as the time drew near the anticipation grew.
