CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT the celebration of the birth of a special child.

And yesterday was no different when the focus was on a baby boy and girl, who are remarkable in their own right.

The six-pound, 15-ounce daughter of Shanell Wickham came into the world at 3 a.m. at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. (YB)
