It s the Festive Season, the description the Caribbean gives to the holiday period that officially kicked off on Dec. 15 and runs through early January on many islands.
Despite the fact that Covid-19 that has canceled many celebrations this year, some of the islands and resorts have a sleighful of activities, culinary enticements and visits by masked Santas to entertain locals and guests.

When Is The Right Time To Take Down Your Christmas Tree
Conversations about when the Christmas tree should be taken down is way too soon. Let s not get ahead of ourselves but I heard many people disagree on when it is the right time to take down the Christmas tree.
According to my mom, the Christmas tree should not be taken down until after el dia de Los Reyes Magos.” In English, that means Three Kings Day. Three Kings Day is a Catholic tradition that my family and I grew up with. Honestly, I don t mind extending Christmas for an extra 12 days. My mom also said that gifts should be given out on el dia de Los Reyes Magos but she tricked us because she only gave my siblings and I gifts on Christmas.
The Rutgers–Camden Center for the Arts will host a free Zoom presentation of “Three Kings Day: Holiday Dances From Around the Spanish World,” a magical holiday tradition performed by the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre. Registration is required.
The free performance, which continues a Rutgers–Camden tradition for the fourth consecutive year, will be broadcast from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 10.
Viewers will be captivated by the performances of folkloric dances from Spain and swirling dances from Mexico and Ecuador.
“This experience is being offered free of charge as our thank you for the years of support we have received for our programs,” says Miranda Powell, arts education and community arts program assistant for the Rutgers–Camden Center for the Arts, who will offer an introduction prior to the performance. “It’s also a tribute to teachers for what they do for their students every day, especially during this difficult year.”
