A poor man Christmas might save we soul

Nov 28, 2025 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh if Jesus had to come back fuh one quick anniversary check-in this December, is pure vexation he would guh back with. Imagine the man born in a manger—yes, a cow pen wid scent and all—only to find out two thousand years later people racing down Regent Street fuh buy tinsel, inflatable Santa, and a Christmas tree that cost more than a month rent. Is enough fuh mek He call fuh a recount on humanity.

Dem boys seh we lose the plot. Christmas suppose to be simple—bread, ham, lil ginger beer, and a whole lotta love. But nowadays people decorating like if the Three Wise Men announcing a surprise visit. And is not frankincense and myrrh dem looking for—dem boys see people tek out loan fuh buy artificial snow! A man nearly freeze he bank account solid.

So dem boys launching a new campaign: “The Poor Man Christmas Challenge”. The rules simple: choose one weekend and fling out all the fancy Christmas demands—no flashy lights, no 73-dish menu, no shopping until you feel faint. Instead, gather the family, sit down, and actually talk. Try it—words free. Play some old parang, sing two off-key carols, share a plate of anything that didn’t require three trips to the supermarket and two lifetimes of stress.

Dem boys seh light a single candle instead of 400 LED bulbs. Call a friend you ain’t speak to all year. Visit an elderly neighbour. Give away something nice—yes, NICE, not the old toaster that spark when you plug it in. Do one act of generosity that cost you nothing but mean everything.

A simple Christmas might shock some people, but dem boys believe is exactly what Jesus had in mind: less glitter, more goodness; less spending, more sharing; less noise, more heart.

Try the Poor Man Christmas Challenge. You might just save money, save stress, and who knows—save yuh soul too. Dem boys seh Jesus would approve. What you think?

Talk half. Leff half
