Remembering Christmas in Liberia

Remembering Christmas in Liberia

Mehn, the celebration there was serious,
Pot boiling with jollof rice inside,
The Kids dressed up, ready for a fun experience

Be prepared to give
For every greeting ended with "my Christmas on you."

Seeking Christmas trees
None to be found
But that old man beggar
Surely did suffice
Good old times
Great old times
Collecting dimes
From my uncle Tilmon

Christmas in Liberia
What an experience
The Fun, the laughter
Distance relatives from the interior
That's Christmas for you, in Liberia
