Christmastime with Mr Stick-Um and Bam-Bam Sally – by Francis Quamina Farrier

Francis Quamina Farrier

I’m always grateful to my Parents for my upbringing; born of a Grenadian father and a Guyanese mother. Experiencing life in the city, the rural areas, the intermediate savannahs, the mountains and also the southern savannahs of my homeland, Guyana, all before I reached my twentieth year of life.

Growing up in McDoom village, on the East Bank of Demerara, which was not a part of the city of Georgetown, in colonial British Guiana, I can share with you, some of the enjoyments of the Christmas Season activities in pre-Independent rural British Guiana.
