lifestyle, travel This is Cozumel

We send all our best festive wishes from a merry Cozumel! The island is busy for the Holidays, with many hotels full and over 30 cruise ships in port, next week, including 8 on Christmas Day alone.

Islanders have been enjoying yuletide family entertainment, with Christmas shows and pageants, carol singing, festive dogs, children dancing and Santa arriving on a scooter.

If you're visiting soon make sure you book your tours and activities now, while there's still availability!

You'll find the island magically decorated, with big Christmas trees downtown, lights and decorations outside City Hall, and nativity scenes and seasonal fairs.

In true Mexican yuletide spirit, islanders are celebrating with 9 nights of songs, called Las Posadas, while children recite their own carols and carry decorated branches, in a similar custom known as cantando la rama.

No matter where you are these Holidays, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
