Sad Bastards Christmas party

It is a balmy tropical day with blue skies and a temperature of 81.4 f  / 27c  perfect Christmas weather. As kid my two favorite Christmas  memories were the time my parents took us to Hawaii, my mom had a business related trip and they decided to bring us along and both our grandmas and stay on for Christmas. The other was a family vacation sailing in the British Virgin Islands – I remember we used a piece of sea fan we found on the beach for a Christmas tree. On both occasions it felt quite natural to me – trading in snow and cold for sun and sand.

I know those trips (and a few others) shaped my desire to end up living in the tropics. We do miss seeing friends and family our moms cooking and enjoying pot lucks at my cousins, we do not miss bundling up for winter and waiting for our old jeep to heat up.

We continue to follow tradition and not cook our own turkey ha ha. Today marks our 4th annual Sad Bastards Christmas party, got our gifts for the gift game ready and wrapped.

For those of you who have had enough of the cold, here is a good post on Belize Travel Deals.

Leaving you with a Video of Walters Christmas Dance below party pics will come tomorrow.

    Unlike you what bothers me is the tropical summer. Bugs like hot weather, we, mamals don’t get along that well. Unless you have ice cream & fruit for Xmas dinner party, I don’t think it’s necessary to have one, nothing fits.
    The tropics are inhabitable from middle May until July after that, if one can, it’s time to move.
    I’m a tropical guy in Rio de Janeiro, a beautiful place as you can see from the pictures
    Nice talking to you
