How expats redefine Christmas in the tropics
Spending Christmas in a tropical haven challenges expats to redefine the holiday spirit with ingenuity. Gone are snowy backdrops and roaring fires; instead, palm-lined beaches and vibrant sunsets set the stage. Whether honoring Saint Nicholas Day, embracing local Mauritian customs, or crafting their own unique rituals, expats find ways to keep the magic alive. Despite the sunshine and swimsuits, the essence of Christmas thrives, weaving together community, spirituality, and moments of wonder.
