| And that was a rare feel-good moment for the Caribbean Shores Representative who is often on the political attack. And, mostly, that was the mood that prevailed at today's three hour house meeting. In fact it ended with bouquets of Christmas cheer, both in cash and in kind, being volleyed across the house floor:...
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister
"May I just say to colleagues on the other side that plantain noh di eat like rice but there is a little $12,500 for each of you for Christmas cheer so that your constituents would be able to [buy turkey], right…"
"No man, we go through Ministry of Human Development, you just put in your order and they will do. Merry Christmas Madam Speaker, Merry Christmas to you."
Hon. John Briceño - Opposition Leader
"I take the opportunity Madam Speaker to wish you and your family, the Prime Minister and his family, all the Ministers and all my colleagues here and their families, the people of Orange Walk Central and all Belizeans to wish them a blessed Christmas a Happy one, and for us to take this opportunity or this season, to, at least during this time, set aside what divides us and to look at what unites us as a people."
