At this time of year, we sense a feeling of peace, joy, love and goodwill. I believe these same feelings are shared by many of you during the Christmas Season.

Hello Virgin Islands, I am Marlon Penn, Representative for the Eight Electoral District, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the visitors and residents of the Virgin Islands and their families, especially those in District 8, a Merry Christmas and prosperous 2015.
Christmas is a time to reflect on the entire year.
The year 2014, was not one without its challenge, from the ongoing global economic Crisis which continues to have an impact on our local economy, to the challenges faced by our main economic pillar (Financial Services and Tourism).

Fellow Virgin Islanders, residents, friends and visitors, the Christmas Season is upon us again and all over the world persons will celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. The celebration takes on different forms depending on customs and religion.
Here in the Virgin Islands as is customary we are busy doing all the things that will make Christmas a memorable and enjoyable season. This involves repainting homes, cleaning, baking tarts, cakes, ham and turkey, making guava beery wine and putting up that Christmas tree local or imported just to name a few.
On December 2, 2014, Accountant General, Dr Sandra M Besson, tendered her resignation to the department of Human Resources, giving the public service the requisite three months' notice and citing her decision as one that is personal.
The Government of the Virgin Islands is grateful to Dr Besson for her dedicated service to effective public service delivery and the management of the Territory's fiscal resources.
