Christmas Message People’s Democratic Movement

Turks and Caicos, December 25, 2024

Greetings to all my fellow Turks and Caicos Islanders,

As we embrace the joy and warmth of this Christmas season, let us take a moment to reflect on its true meaning. Christmas is a time of faith, hope, and love—a season that reminds us of the teachings of Christ to care for one another with compassion, humility, and selflessness.

This is a special time for coming together as a community, sharing what we have with those in need, and spreading kindness to one another. While we celebrate, I acknowledge that for many of our brothers and sisters, this season comes with challenges. Rising costs, concerns about safety, and struggles to access essential services are burdens felt by many in our communities.

Yet, this is also a time for reflection and renewal—a moment to consider how we can work together to create the brighter future that every Turks and Caicos Islander deserves.  We are a resilient people, blessed with strength, resourcefulness, and a deep sense of community. By uniting our efforts, we can overcome the trials we face and build a better nation for all.

Let this Christmas inspire us to look beyond the challenges and toward the possibilities. Together, we can foster peace in our neighborhoods, support those in need, and ensure every person has access to the opportunities and resources they deserve. On behalf of the PDM and my family, I wish each of you a Christmas filled with love, hope, and joy. May this season bring renewal to your spirits and unity to our nation. May God continue to bless these beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands.

Hon Edwin Astwood, Opposition Leader and Robert Been, PDM Deputy Party Leader

Merry Christmas!
