WE HAD NO IDEA...THIS WAS FABULOUS it was the whole town OPEN from 6pm to almost midnight and the stores had big sales from 20 per cent off to 70%%%% OFF..unbelieveable they said it was last minute shopping fun

also the best thing was THE XMAS LIGHTS ALL OVER and xmas trees and the outsice FOOD MARKET it was like CARNIVALE!!!
THERE WERE STILTS PEOPLE WITH COSTUMES and about 20 steel bands all over town and the docks...

I would love to see the Christmas lights and decorations. I leave on Sunday. I imagine everything will still be up.

It is a whole "1" degree here in PA today. I can't wait to get there!!!!!

The lights should be up through Three King's Day! Make sure you take a tour through town and see Roosevelt Park and Government Hill...

1 degree? Does the light come on when you open the front door? 😉

Just a quick note about the winners of the Lighted Boat Parade - for those of you who were there - Sailing Yacht True Love (she was fourth in line I think with the spiral lights up the mast) won first prize, Sailing Yacht Touch of Grey (Santa as piloting) won second prize and Topaz (the trawler) won third. Honorable mention went to Motor Yacht Canim. Thanks to all the boats! See you next year.
Pamela.

Hey Ginger, where you at? Am on island now and would like to meet. You'd have to look at a past issue of the VI Daily News for info on that.

Yes, we have a similar function in July called Christmas in July. Not nearly as big, but still a good time.
