Christmas in de air and every year if nutten else, people does look out fuh de Christmas party. Is like if some employers does be tekking out people money in de sly and then giving dem a big party at de end of de year.
But most of dem does get into de spirit of giving because Christmas is a time of giving and of course, if you give you got to get. All dem employers does get praise while de staff does get free food and free drinks and a good sport. Some people does sport so much that dem can’t wuk de next day if is a wukking day. That is why most Christmas party does keep on a Friday night or a Saturday night. De boss man don’t care if dem don’t go to market or if dem don’t go to church.
De Waterfalls paper got a Christmas party pun a Monday night and pun de notice, somebody smart to print that de next day is not a holiday. De boss man ain’t print no invitation so it mean that all he friends and family can tun up. But dem boys seh that it too good to be true because no organization gun want de whole world, Tom and he dog and he cat tun up.
Suh dem boys ask de boss man wha he got in mind. De boss man claim that anybody can tun up and that he ain’t gun kick out nobody, but the person who tun up must be a friend. He tell dem boys that if de person ain’t a friend then de person gun get a drink and some food and then a kick out de place.
If is a friend then is a different story. He can sport all night but mek sure that he ain’t sleep because he gun have to tek wha he get. Dem have strange people in and around de Waterfalls paper.
Dem also have strange people in certain places. Imagine Bharrat gun break wid tradition and keep one Christmas party fuh all de people who wukking wid government. He ain’t announce which place guh hold this party but dem boys believe that it got to be de stadium.
However, people know that when de crowd big is war fuh food and drinks. That is why dem prefer dem own staff party wheh de crowd small and wheh everybody know everybody.
Well dem have some people who really vex. Last year de Agriculture Ministry had a big seafood party and everything that was at de party was gift from all dem seafood places. De Ministry even collect free liquour suh was a bumper party. Even when people gone home de Ministry was still calling people fuh fête. Office of de President had a similar party but de Accounts Department spend. This year de government decide that it too expensive suh is only one party fuh everybody.
But dem have some really vex people. One group seh how de government want to limit de partying and this time de people ain’t want nutten to limit dem. Dem suh vex that dem decide that dem prefer to hold dem own party and boycott de government party. One man tell dem boys that people can pool dem money and really put on a sport.
But dem boys remind dem that there is problem. People want every cent dem can get because women always buying something fuh de season. One man go home wid de idea of de sub and he wife stop talking to he. Is not till de next morning that he understand why.
De woman vex because she know that she want money fuh varnish and blinds and he got de nerve to talk bout sub. He get de message.
But Bharrat know bout people like he. He done know that some of dem who accustom to carry home drinks will try de same thing, suh he ask Ashni to count how much public servants dem have.
He done decide that some of dem who know that dem ain’t getting back pay gun try to make hay. He got de guards to search dem when dem going out.
Talk half. Lef half.
