ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Dressed in a Santa Claus costume and bearing gifts, Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) told hundreds of residents who were serenaded at the first Premier’s Christmas Extravaganza with a Cultural Twist at Festival Grounds on Saturday 12 December 2020, to spread love this season.
According to the Premier, love is invaluable but yet inexpensive and can be shared by everyone.
“I want you during this season of joy to spread the one thing that you don’t need money for, which is love. You don’t need money to buy love and even if you have money you can’t buy true love. So make sure you have love in your heart, yes you will have the need for finances, but I have met some miserable rich people, and I have seen some people on the television with all the money in the world, and it couldn’t save them from COVID-19.
