The morning of December 24th dawned on the island with the promise of golden sunlight spilling over the restless waves and carrying with it the silent whispers of jingle bells.
The entire estate was bathed in the warm glow of festivity and shimmering decorations.
Outside, tall palms were wrapped with twinkling white lights that sparkled like diamonds.
Garlands laced with gold pinecones and velvet red ribbons hung from balcony rails.
And inside the expansive sitting room, a huge, beautifully decorated Christmas tree–surrounded with lots of gift boxes–stood like a majestic sentinel of joy, its twinkling lights casting warm glows across the polished floor.
With most of the visiting friends gone, the rest of the family and a few friends left, slept in–enjoying the peaceful morning and the serenity of the Island's soothing atmosphere.
