A country becomes a more Cohesive Nation when traditions which encompass all citizens, are maintained and improved upon over the years. There should be no let-up in maintaining our good traditions. For example, the way in which Guyanese celebrate the Christmas Season, is a prime example.

One of the newer Guyanese Christmas traditions which begins the earliest, is the COURTS Store Christmas Trees Light Up and the massive give-aways to Customers who participate in the Spin-the-Wheel events.
