Awaiting a special type of Christmas

A bit of Christmas feeling in the Caribbean as well. This was taken in the capital of Antigua, Saint Johns, a few nights ago. I'm not a very Christmas loving person myself more than for the fact that it's a great chance for family and friends to get together and to enjoy lovely food. Usually I do not find great interest in old fashioned traditions like these, particularly not those that are created from a religion that I do not believe in, and which are turned into commercial ventures, but this year Christmas has a very special meaning to us as our friends who we haven't met since October 2010, will arrive here from Spain on the 24th, so we're almost equally excited for these last seven days to pass quickly as the children are who're waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.
