Getting into the Christmas Spirit in The Sunny Tropics
Christmas series—Part 1
While the rest of the world may be snuggling up by the fireplace, those of us lucky enough to live in the sunny tropics embrace the festive spirit with a playful and humorous twist. So grab your sunscreen and get ready for a Christmas celebration like no other. Let's dive into some fun ideas to make your festivities a barrel of laughs!
1. Swap Snow for Sand
Instead of dreaming of a white Christmas, embrace the sandy shores and organise a sand snowman-building competition. How often do you see snowmen at the beach? Gather your friends and family, arm yourselves with buckets and shovels, and let your creativity run wild.
And bonus points for incorporating tropical accessories like sunglasses and flip-flops into your sandy party space - not forgetting the ever essential slip, slop, slap, seek and slide routine for everyone in your precious group of friends and family.
2. Santa's Summer Fashion Makeover
Bid farewell to the traditional red suit and fur-trimmed coat, Santa needs a summer makeover! Dress him up in a Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, and a big floppy sunhat.
Accessorise with flip-flops and a colourful lei. Santa's vacation vibes will surely bring a smile to everyone's face! And don't forget to send your photos in to us!
3. Tropical Treats with a Twist
While the rest of the world indulges in hot cocoa and warm baked goods, you can add a fun twist to your tropical Christmas treats. How about turtle-shaped gingerbread cookies? Or Santa-shaped watermelon slices? Let our creativity run wild and turn traditional holiday treats into something uniquely tropical - uniquely you.
4. Christmas Carol Karaoke by the Pool
Gather your loved ones by the pool and organise a Christmas carol karaoke session. Swap-out traditional lyrics for hilarious tropical versions. Sing about Santa riding a surfboard or Rudolph wearing shades. The great thing about laughter is that it's contagious, and everyone will soon be singing and laughing along. You can even turn these activities into a fun competition by challenging everyone to push their own creativity to the fore.
5. Hilarious Holiday Attire
Embrace the tropics by sporting Hawaiian shirts adorned with Santa Claus or reindeer motifs.
Accessorise with festive sunglasses, Santa hats with built-in fans, and flip-flops adorned with jingling bells. Or you could recreate the ugly sweater tradition but, this time, by starting the hilarious tee shirt tradition. The goal is to be festive, funny, and comfortably stylish under the warm tropical sun.
A summer Christmas in the tropics is an opportunity to create your own unique and hilarious traditions. From sand snowmen to Santa's summer fashion makeover, embrace the warmth and laughter that comes with celebrating the holiday season in a non-traditional way.
So, grab your sunscreen, let your creativity soar, and prepare for a Christmas celebration filled with tropical humour and unforgettable memories. Happy Holidays, and may your summer Christmas be filled with sunshine, laughter and joy!
