With their Christmas Day hams heartily eaten and all their gifts opened, Barbadians and visitors continued their holiday celebrations outdoors yesterday.

Whether sinking their toes in the warm sand of the beach or picnicking under the shade of a tall tree, families and groups came together yesterday in observance of typical Boxing Day tradition
of food, drinks and merriment. 

At the picturesque King George V Memorial Park located in Jezreel, St Philip, members of the Mount Pisnah Spiritual Baptist Church came out in their numbers to celebrated the season. 

Among them was the Yarde family huddled together in groups with a mouth-watering spread of sweet potato pie, macaroni pie, rice, chicken, baked pork, spare ribs and cole slaw. 

According to Monica Yarde Harris, sharing in the meals with her loved ones and her community is what the season truly meant to her.
