Christmas and the New Year in Jamaica

[Seveen]

Christmas in Jamaica is cooler than other months so make sure to expect that --- one year I actually wore jeans and my jean jacket

the best thing about that time of the year is FOOD - all kinds of things are in season to eat that you may have missed during the months you usually come

Christmas and Boxing Day are both relatively quiet days. The big gift giving is not obvious. More family time together.

The restaurants will have a big dinner on Christmas and NYE --- make reservations --- especially for NYE --- you have never seen that many cars and people on Beach Road --- I promise

last Christmas I was at Zimbali Retreats --- perfect day for me --- perfect hosts - and more than perfect food lol

and like PGW said --- make sure to get money --- ATM's start dwindling down Christmas Eve and no money until after Boxing Day

and if a Jamaican family invites you to dinner --- GO! :-)
