The Spirit of Christmas in Jaco!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Jaco and Special Thanks go to the an energetic and  enthusiastic group of young ladies over at Jaco Living!  The special event held in Jaco's Central Park on the eve of December 8th was an overwhelming success!  Complete with face painting, dancing, Christmas carols and colorful mimes on skates, stilts and bouncing shoes the children were thrilled by the visit from Santa Claus (Known as Papá Noel in Costa Rica) accompanied by Mrs. Claus.  They all took a turn on his knee to share their secret wishes for what they would like him to bring to them for Christmas.

Funds for this event were raised with the Thanksgiving Cup, a charity golf event that took place in November in Los Suenos.

Kudos to Jaco Living for a job well done!  

We look forward to your future events and activities!

The hope

Jaco Living was founded in 2011 by three local enthusiasts and Jaco Beach, to create community events to benefit the people and the inhabitants of the Central Pacific. After many years of living in Jaco feel the need to create and bring more activities to the community for the welfare of its residents: activities for children, for the physical and social good are the reason for our company.

Ho Ho Ho . . .  Merry Christmas!

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"!
