It might come as a surprise to know that the Caribbean Christmas is full of as much celebration and fanfare as America and European Christmas festivities. One island in particular, the Grand Cayman, has a wonderful mix of ethnic and Christmas traditions. In olden times, one of the first preparations for Christmas was "backing sand." Weeks before Christmas, on a moonlit night, women and children would head for the beach, and fill baskets with white sand. Just before Christmas Day, the sand was spread smooth around the yard and swept with twig brooms, creating a lovely intricate pattern on the sand. The men then place collected conch shells all around the yard and up the walk to the front door, putting the final touches on their Christmas scene.
Please call us for availability as these santas are very limited. Many are retired and may be sold out.
