Michelle has put together some Christmas thoughts and ideas of what Christmas means to her and some tips for island festive fun.
The festive season is upon us and with it the perfect opportunity to send out messages of kindness, hope and love, take some time to care about the people who mean a lot to you and do what you can to help someone less fortunate. Lavish your homes in festive colours with twinkling lights and winter scents to shed a feeling of warmth and joy and evoke happy memories that will linger on. Christmas is a time for spreading peace and happiness so use this time to create magic moments. We live in a beautiful world that is ever changing and evolving, try and notice the changes, listen to what the world is telling you and act according to what it needs, above all smile at the wonder, and glow with the magic that this time of year brings.
Christmas here at Tiny Homes Holidays is kept simple – we gently decorate the cabins along with the studio and the vibe is as chill as always!
There’s plenty of local festivities happening to keep you having a jolly time on our island at this time of year so here’s a few ideas to keep your spirits up:
