The greatest majority of the island residents are Christians, and therefore Christmas is celebrated there just as it is in the US. Christmas lights are strung across the streets in Marigot, and there's a house near the road to Friars that's lit up to the hilt; always fun to see that. We've never been there on Christmas Day itself, but the lights and decorations go up right after Thanksgiving, again, just like here at home. I always get a kick out of the smell of the fresh Christmas trees when they start selling them in front of Market Garden. It seems strange to have all of that in the tropical climate, but it's there! And yes, Christmas music playing on the radio and in many restaurants and stores.
