Costa Rican Christmas Trees!



There are many Christmas traditions around the world but one that appears to be universal is the "Christmas Tree"!  An interesting concept that we noticed in Costa Rica is that many families put their Christmas trees on the front porch!




Even the Jaco Policia have the spirit of Christmas!
 
 
 
 
 
Sometimes you will see a tree sitting alone on the porch but many were surrounded by family lounging on the porch around the tree!  Costa Ricans love to have their picture made and they love for you to take pictures of their children.  We learned they feel the same way about there beautifully appointed Christmas tree as they smiled and waved and cleared the view to make sure we got a good shot of their prized ornament! 

Merry Christmas to All and may you 
be blessed with the magic and beauty 
that comes to us each year in the form of a 
"CHRISTMAS TREE"!
