It is Christmas Eve on the island of Trinidad and little Rosie skips about in the sunshine. Chanting and singing to a steel-drum rhythm, she helps her family to prepare the sorrel, black currant cake and the aloe pies. The story is written in Trinidadian English.

Rosie's preparations for Christmas on the island of Trinidad include picking red petals for the sorrel drink, mixing up the black currant cake, and singing along with the parang band.
