CHRISTMAS?is coming; the geese are getting fat.
But Gloria Jordan is not asking for “a penny” to put in “the old man’s hat”, as the song goes.

Jordan, of Lower Walkers, St Andrew, was picking the peas yesterday which will no doubt serve as the main ingredient in two Christmas favourites enjoyed by Barbadians – green peas and rice, and jug-jug. (RL) (Picture by Ricardo Leacock.)
