FAMILY HOLIDAY VACATIONS


BY CLAY LARROY
We lead such busy lives working, going to school, taking children to different activities that often we do not stop and talk to our children. We usually do not have time to sit around the dinner table and ask our children what they did today. Familyvacations are so important, as it gives us a way to connect with each other in a stress free relaxed environment. Families that take vacations together build memories that will last a lifetime. Family vacations and travel can be a most rewarding experience.  When you are ready to plan a vacation contact me!
Christmas Vacation in Mexico is a Great Way to Enjoy the Holidays
There are countless and beautiful places to visit around the world. But a Christmas Vacation in Mexico is something you will always remember as the best Christmas ever.

You can enjoy seeing different areas of Mexico via a cruise ship. Or you can go to one of the tourist destinations for a holiday at the beach. But many visitors to Mexico find the best Christmas vacation takes place in the heart of the interior of Mexico, in Colonial Mexico.

As you leave the cold and dreary winter of where you live and head to San Miguel de Allende or Cuernavaca or Guadalajara, or Ajijic, Mexico you will be in awe.

You get the Sun-soaked days and mysterious and romantic nights that will call you back year after year. And you can really get a taste of the Mexican culture during a Christmas vacation in the land of eternal spring.
The traditions of a Mexican Christmas are many. Mexican Christmas starts around December 16th and does not end until January 6th by celebrating Day of the Kings. This day of the Kings commemorates the day the three wise men went to visit baby Jesus and present their gifts.


On the 6th of January, it is a tradition to have a small gathering of family and good friends and eat this special sweet bread called Rosca de Reyes, which is actually quite delicious and has yummy fruits baked on top!
But this tasty, sweet bread is not any ordinary pastry. Nope, this bread has something special hidden inside. If you happen to end up with a piece of this pastry with one of these little figurines inside (which represent baby Jesus) then you are supposed to host a small party on February 2. This day is called Day of the Candles or Dia de la Candelaria

Christmas in Mexico is a time of many parties and gatherings at the plaza. Mexico is an amazing place to celebrate this special time of year.
If you stay in a vacation rental home in Ajijic during your visit, you could enjoy your own Christmas traditions as well as those of Mexico. Cook your traditional meal, sip your hot spiced ponche with tequila, and open your presents. Play your special Christmas music while sitting on the terrace and smelling the fragrance of the flowers this time of year.

Christmas vacation in Mexico is truly the best of all worlds, visit soon!


One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.
