‘Twas a Crucian Christmas, on St. Croix Isle,
Where the moon shone bright, with a warm, gentle smile.
The trade winds whispered through the palm trees tall,
As joy and laughter filled each island hall.
The children were nestled in their beds with glee,
Dreaming of Santa sailing in from the sea.
No reindeer on rooftops, no snow on the ground,
But in the USVI, a different magic is found.
With customs and traditions, so vibrant and grand,
Crucian Christmas spirit swept over the land.
From Bamboo Bethlehem to Mocko Jumbie dance,
The island came alive in a joyful trance.
In Christiansted town, by the twinkling lights’ glow,
Families gathered, hearts all aglow.
Old Man Johnson told tales of holidays past,
While steel pan melodies echoed at last.
Miguel and Maria, with hearts pure and light,
Welcomed neighbors with laughter that rang through the night.
Pedro the donkey grazed under the starry sky,
As the Three Kings procession passed by.
With guavaberry rum cakes and saltfish delight,
The flavors of St. Croix filled the air that night.
In island homes adorned with flamboyant cheer,
The spirit of Christmas drew near and near.
Ho ho ho, Santa’s laughter filled the air,
As he sailed on a dinghy with gifts beyond compare.
With a promise from mama and papa, so dear,
Santa’s magic transcended across the hemisphere.
No snowflakes cascading, but waves lapping the shore,
In St. Croix, Christmas traditions abound even more.
From Doubloon Christmas carols to masquerade fun,
The USVI’s spirit shines bright like the sun.
So, as the palm trees swayed in gentle embrace,
And the sea breeze whispered tales of grace,
A Crucian Christmas, so merry and bright,
Filled hearts with love on that magical night.
