As we approach the season of Christmas when we celebrate the birth of Christ, it is a wonderful tradition to re-tell this story in Carols, Dance and Music.  The spirit of Christmas is a joyful way to experience the warmth and love of family and friends in an atmosphere of ‘glad tidings’ and with the impact of ‘the cheer factor’ as our many talents are expressed on stage.

‘In the Spirit of Christmas’ initiated in 1995 and presented in the Circus, downtown, Basseterre, began as a collaboration of the Ministry of Information, Sports and Culture and the St Kitts Boys Brigade Company with involvement from a wide cross section of the Public and Private Sectors.  However in 2005 (after 10 years), it was noted that there was a fall-off in participation of groups and individuals which grew more pronounced in the years following.

A review of this event was carried out and a number of factors were identified as the reasons for its decline in popularity. We are now working extremely hard to present this event in 2008 with a more community oriented focus. ‘In the Spirit of Christmas’ will indeed re-energize the talents of our people and crystallize our cultural traditions and our heritage of which we are justly proud.

Please join us now, as we hold fast to the past and our rich traditions which will inspire our youth to unwrap our gifts of caring and sharing, to be shining stars leading the path to a glorious future steeped in our culture.

In the true Spirit of Christmas we look forward to your patronage over the period December 8th – 12th, 8:00 Nightly in the Circus, Basseterre.

With peace and goodwill,
