Christmas in Jamaica!

Okay so here I'll tell ya and post pics of our actual Christmas day in Jamaica. The lead up to it was really different, there were some palm trees with lights on them and other decorations around the resort to remind you of the holiday but to me the time we spent with my family before we left was Christmas enough for me. To me it felt like it was over and we were just on holidays.





Never the less, Santa came to everyone to show he hadn't forgotten about us. In the morning we saw Santa hadn't found our room but after a quick phone call we realized that he just made one stop in Grandma and Grandpa's room for everyone. So we got up and ready and headed over there before breakfast. Sure enough everyone had there little piles along the floor with treats and goodies. Hayley got a game for her DS called Rune Factory. It's like the farm game she has for Nintendo but this is a fantasy version, kind of cool really. She also got a Naruto Magazine, some socks, a pen, a dolphin with Jamaica written on it, and other various things. Daelyn got a View Master with The Little Mermaid viewing wheels, a (knock off) tomagochi pet, some socks, a new "Arial" phone and various other fun things.





So after that we all went down to the buffet and had breakfast. Did I mention how good the food was there? You could get cereal, eggs done to your liking, omeletts with your favourite toppings, toast, letter shaped potato hasbrowns, porridge, all kinds of fruit, cuissants, yogurt, sausages, bacon and I'm sure many other things I missed. Anyway.... after breaky we sat out by the entertainment stage and waited for Santa. He was supposed to be making his arrival at noon so the kids wanted to see him... okay so did we, curiousity got the better of us! In the mean time the kids played and feasted on cotton candy and snow cones. They had some special drinks for the big kids as well, their version of Egg Nog and some other drink that tasted like sprite.





The afternoon was spent like the others, on the beach. It was a very relaxing day, to say the least.



Supper that night was our very first A la Carte restaurant called the Cappuccino. It had a dress code so we all had to spiffy up a bit, no tank tops or shorts allowed. (Pants, Capri's or dresses for girls, and pants for guys) We seem to be lacking in family photos but here is one of the girls that night just before we went back into the room.  I even wore a dress but alas... no photos.

(Daelyn is holding a hand full of Nuts and Bolts from Grandma's room that she was taking to daddy. )

Now I can't remember if this was Christmas night or Christmas eve but the entertainement was a group of carollers that were really good. We sat out and watched them for a while before retiring for the day.
