On my first trip to Playa del Carmen in 2002, walking the then unpaved streets and marveling at this Paradise I now call home, I knew then I wanted to live here.
After spending every conceivable holiday, including Christmas, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, the Super Bowl and numerous weekends, I moved to Playa for 8 months. After being back in theU.S. for a few weeks I marvel at the simplicity of life in Playa especially during this holiday season.
Bombarded in theU.S.by ugly news, staggering holiday crowds and lots of “scrooge” like attitudes, I choose to remember the idea of Christmas: Family, good will toward men (and women), children’s smiling faces, gratitude, love, blessings and most of all that you can create paradise where ever you are.
When you find yourself being stressed out over your core family dynamics, too much shopping or too little love, just remember, you are the Christmas Spirit, shine baby shine.
