The resplendent glow of the mellow December sun, a starry night and the gentle murmuring gale, days packed with loads of fun, liberal ease and relaxation on the long sandy beaches- all this and more awaits those who plan to visit Hawaii, Jamaica, Bahamas or Mexico this Christmas.

Hawaii- A favorite destination for tourists wanting to get away from the intense cold during winter, Hawaii offers a glimpse of unscathed tropical beauty. Maui, a lovely island with its pristine beaches, waterfalls and rich cultural heritage, Hana Highway, Halekala national park, Oheo Gulch, Wailua Falls, Hamoa Beach, etc; Oahu and Big Island are some of the major attractions. Oahu is where Santa takes his first break walking barefoot on the Waikiki beach. The light displays in Honolulu and the musical concerts at Oahu all extends for over a month beginning from the Kawaiahao Church service, the lighting of the 63 foot Norfolk Pine and an electric parade cum concert on December 3. It is a place brimming with the festive spirit throughout the year. The Big Island festival in November is quite a tourist absorber as well.
Scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming, fishing, sailing and other countless activities in the cerulean waters attract all and sundry. Alongside, listening to the native version of “12 days of Christmas” and “Here comes Santa in a Red canoe” is like taking a journey back in time on this paradisal landscape. Here's wishing you all, 'Mele Kalikimaka' or Merry Christmas.

Jamaica- A place which has never seen snow but where Christmas happens to be the most festive time of the year. The two main tourist resorts here are Negril and Montego Bay. The Grand Market, a community fair and Jonkonnu, a parade having its roots in Africa are two of the most popular occurrences for revellers. The warm ocean breeze, the sweet scent of sugarcane in its plume, the fertile vegetation and luxurious flora and fauna meliorate its unparalleled beauty.
The ever popular Christmas fruit cake made from mixed fruits marinaded in wine and the Jamaican Christmas feast of rice, gungo peas, roast chicken or duck, curried goat, ham and roasted beef makes me want to catch the next flight and reach there right now. What about you all?
