"What's the best thing about Christmas?"
"The food! I get to have two Christmas dinners. One at my mums and one at my Grans. My gran makes all the traditional Jamaican food”

I've had a crazy, hectic, sleep-deprived weekend (due to a family wedding) but it is finally over - thank God!

Following the reception today, I stopped off in Leeds to drop off a family member and while I was there I managed to capture Deleacia as she was on a break from her job at H Samuels. She told me she'd never seen it so busy, “It’s only going to get worse!”, I joked.

We talked about Christmas rituals and what her family did over the festive period. Christmas day was traditional, with present opening in the morning and then church, followed by the big meal. Deleacia also told me about the following day, spent at her grandmother’s house, but this time with a full Jamaican spread, which she told me she really looked forward to.

Have a great Christmas whatever you're up to (and eating) :)
