From R&R to educational courses, dream vacays and embracing family SO takes you Christmas carolling and gift wrapping with eight of our faves from across industries — sports and film, beauty and fashion — fact is when all is said we basically all want the same thing!

Kayla Greaves, InStyle Executive Beauty Editor

My gift to myself this year is rest and relaxation.

“My best Christmas experience was as a child celebrating with my grandparents in Treasure Beach. We kept things simple, there was no tree and barely any decorations, but time spent with elders is always precious.”

Come Christmas day I’ll be singing my favourite carol which is the Jackson 5’s Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

Finally, I wish everyone a restful and joyous Christmas season. I hope we are all surrounded by love, family, and great food.”

Rock-blooded fashion designer Samantha Black

My belated Christmas gift will be a trip to Jamaica.

Most memorable Christmas was when I was 11/12 and received my first sewing machine!

This Christmas by Chris Brown is what I’ll be playing

Sheryl Lee Ralph, Emmy Award-winning Jamaican actress

My Christmas gift to me this year is peace and quiet on an empty beach in a bikini wrapped in relaxing good vibes with my husband, and a Bamboo B Tote from my fellow Jamaican Brandon Blackwood.

After the amazing year God has given me I am in need of rest and relaxation. My battery needs recharging.

Naturally my new album Sleigh will be on repeat

Tanaania Tracey, social media marketer, entrepreneur & Youtuber

My sister is home from Howard [University] for the holidays so my family is complete again. That’s all I need for my Christmas!

My favourite Christmas carol is The Christmas Song by Michael Bublé.

Sushana Cole, author and entrepreneur

I’m gifting myself three business courses this year. I want to sharpen my entrepreneurial skills and learn some more about my target market. Updating the workspace for my online boutique Soignée is also on my Christmas wishlist.

And because I’m a stylista at heart, I bought a pair of designer shoes that was just too fab to pass up!

Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You will be on repeat for the season.

Tyanna Harriott, principal By The Cabana & Boutique Intuition

My Christmas gift to myself will be a two-week vacation to Morocco! I’m an explorer at heart and absolutely love travelling… So cool! I’ll be smack in the middle of Africa & Europe! While I’m at it I’ll surely spend a few days in the UK and Dubai.

This Christmas by Chris Brown is my Christmas song so that’s what I’ll be playing

Jobi McAnuff, broadcaster/analyst

My Christmas gift to myself is my current trip to Jamaica with the family. While playing football, I never had the time for a trip away to Jamaica at this time of year.

My favourite Christmas song is All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey

Damion Lowe, professional footballer (Jamaica, Inter Miami)

My Christmas gift to myself this year is rest because I’ve had two long seasons back to back with very little break.

My fave Xmas carol is Jackson 5’s Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
