Cozumel Christmas 2008. |
|
| Cozumel always makes a great
effort to put on the best light show every year. Besides the fact that
it never snows here in the tropics and despite the fact that Cozumel is
heavily catholic and not prone to celebrate Santa Clause and Snowmen;
this years is markedly different! Most people understand that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Cozumel in the past has always been very strict in observing this. Of course there have always been an abundance of lights. Every house from the biggest to the most modest will go out of their way to dress up the outside with every manner of lights as well as manger scene complete with the three kings and baby Jesus surrounded by farm animals and of course Mary and Joseph. And as with every year there are always the small children that come to your door that offer to sing you a traditional Mexican Christmas song. Small groups of religious parades dominate the island during this very special time of year as well. It doesn't hurt that the weather is absolutely perfect and tropicool during this time of year while the USA and Canada are dealing with ice and snow storms of record proportions. The reason why I decided to write this web site was to showcase just how beautiful the Melgar (the main waterfront street) is during Christmas. It is always done up and sets the tone for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! However, we noticed when driving around yesterday (December 14th, 2008) that there was a distinct difference this year. The city decided to go mainstream with the lighting and decorations. The designs took on a distinctively American tone. Santa Clause, Snowmen, Presents, and Candy Canes are everywhere. This has always been a magical time to come to Cozumel and the weather combined with the festivities marks the beginning of our "high season". That is always a great reason to celebrate! I hope that you enjoy the slide show below. The pictures are all current and convey the sense of lighting that you will see if you are planning to come during this very special time of the year. Most of all, we wish you the Merriest Christmas and Happiest New Year EVER! Warm Regards, Bob Rodriguez Cozumelmexico.net Your Complete Vacation Guide! |

Enjoy the thrill of celebrating Christmas on our tropical paradise. This is not the most popular time of the year to come just because of the lights and decorations. There is a magic in the air that can only be felt during this time of year. If you have never experienced the island at Christmas and New Years week you don't know what you are missing. For all others; welcome back!
