ANSWER: It certainly is! And not just the most popular, it is the most important holiday in Jamaica, based on its historical context.
During the plantation era, the three day Christmas holiday that began on Christmas day took on a carnival-like atmosphere here.
ANSWER: It is the happiest time of the year, but the Christian roots (as in most Christian countries) is still maintained.
And so, while there are fun, food and frolic is all spheres, all day, for many it is a time of reflection and thanksgiving.
