Why is ‘white Christmas’ a thing? To shovel snow? Pile on 3 layers of clothing to go outside? No feeling in your fingers and nose? No thanks. I’ll take palm trees, bikinis, and the ocean breeze…
When I was little, I used to dream of a white Christmas. All the movies made it look SO amazing. But I grew up in south Florida, where the winter was just a little bit cooler then the hellish sweaty summers. So of course being in a touristy state, and not far from the beach, all our northern family members would come to Florida for the holidays. First time I saw snow was when I was about 25 and it was on Christmas week, so it was essentially, my first ‘white Christmas’. Nothing like the movies, but hey, had to try it at least once.
Fast forward to my 30’s, and I’m living my dream in the Caribbean. Sailing and island hopping on our 46 ft. catamaran. After spending Christmas and the holiday’s on a boat in the tropics, it’s hard to imagine it any other way. Most of the islands celebrate the holiday’s with beach bon fires, fireworks and all the decorations and Christmas lights you can imagine. It’s a spectacular place to be to celebrate a tropical holiday. Being able to share this with others is an amazing feeling.
So why is a tropical Christmas so much better then a white one? Here are the top reasons why.
The weather of course! You can count on Low 80’s in the day and low 70’s at night. To us, that is the PERFECT weather to be on a boat, especially during the holidays. It’s hot enough in the day time to go diving, snorkeling and swimming and then enjoy a nice breezy, perfect evening cocktail on the deck. Never feel frozen, never shovel snow, never chop wood, And OF COURSE there’s Christmas lights wrapped around palm trees, festivals and music and plenty of celebrating.
This year, we are offering the perfect holiday vacation, a week long charter onboard our catamaran. It’s all-inclusive with diving, snorkeling, beach bon fires, fireworks, champagne & MUCH more. We hope to see you out here on beautiful Roatan island this year. Check our holiday promotion here .
Cheers!
