Christmas of Yesteryear

Every year, the grounds of Miss Lassie’s home in South Sound are transformed into scenes reminiscent of yesteryear, as part of the Foundation’s commitment to keeping Caymanian traditions alive.

About

During the second week in December, staff and volunteers dressed in traditional Caymanian attire offer residents, students, and visitors educational tours and talks on Caymanian Christmas traditions and wider cultural heritage.

This event highlights traditional preparations for Christmas in Cayman, including the practice of ‘backing sand’ in thatch baskets, the laying of conch shells, and the spreading and sweeping of freshly sanded yards with rosemary brooms and rakes, alongside rope-turning and basket-weaving demonstrations. It concludes with a festive performance by the beloved Cayman Islands Folk Singers.
