Christmas is rapidly approaching and instead of skipping it altogether, all the cool kids are heading way south to the coastal village of Rocky Point to celebrate. It doesn’t take that many over stressed, frenetic, and loud Christmases to convince people that a holiday at the beach will bring the joy we all need, and when you choose an FMI Rentals holiday hideaway, perhaps a beachfront one, you too will understand the growing popularity of a Mexican noel! This guide to all the reasons you will want to spend this festive and joyous Rocky Point holiday will help bring back the magic to Santa’s busiest night!
Thankful for the Serenity of a Beach Sunset
Normally this would be where we convince people that waking up at sunrise is a good thing, but this is Mexico, and sleep is treasured here, so let’s move the merrymaking and peace seeking to sunset instead. The sky turning a kaleidoscope of fiery colors, the sun dipping ever closer to the blue waters of the sea, and the feeling of toes buried in the sand; these may not be solely Christmas related sensations, but experiencing all of them will somehow be more magical. And on Christmas Eve, when the presents are all wrapped (hopefully!) the grouper you caught on an earlier fishing expedition is prepped and ready to be grilled, and for the moment, the evening is quiet, these sunset moments will bring you a greater appreciation for the craziness that will take place the next day.
You ARE the Gifting King or Queen
There are books written about the many different forms love languages take and for those whose language is gifting, a visit to Rocky Point at Christmas will ensure you earn the title of King (or Queen) of gift giving forevermore. The shops that line the streets of our fishing village are filled with locally created items that are colorful, charming, and inexpensive. Pottery for grandma, silver jewelry for the wife, and a variety of tchotchkes and toys that are guaranteed to be the best gifts under the tree; these are just a few examples of how shopping for Christmas gifts will be your newest obsession. Mermaid’s Market may be your favorite store to shop in, offering a beautiful variety of locally created arts and crafts, including shell art, crocheted items, and traditional Mexican blankets that add charm to any room in which they are found.
Traditional Christmas Activities for a Holiday in Rocky Point
You may be choosing to skip the winter muck and craziness at home with your Rocky Point visit, but that doesn’t mean you are skipping Christmas altogether and many of your favorite traditional Christmas activities can be enjoyed here during your visit. Check out the lighted homes in our communities, driving through on the darkest of nights, or explore the beauty of the downtown area all decorated for the holidays while finishing up your last minute shopping. Enjoy sweet treats from our favorite bakery, Candy Cake Breakfast and Dessert, because Christmas is NOT about the calories you consume, and is about the moments you enjoy, and sip hot cocoa from large mugs on the balcony of your beach front FMI Rentals holiday havens, watching the sea ebb and wave.
New Traditions to Hold Close
The best part of traveling is when you discover new ways to celebrate your favorite holidays and the Mexican tradition of celebrating La Posada may help you enjoy a much longer Rocky Point holiday season. Beginning on December 16th, children lead a small parade through many neighborhoods singing and begging for shelter for poor Mary, stopping by multiple homes before one finally lets them in on the night of Christmas Eve (Nochebuena.) The homes they visit may provide snacks and treats and even if you aren’t unsure of your children taking part in such a personal ceremony, you can reenact a version of this event in the comfort of your FMI Rentals vacation escape. Set up stations in each bedroom with treats, stream some Christmas carols for the kiddos to sing along with, and celebrate with pinatas filled with gifts on the last night.
