Christmas in the Tropics: An Unconventional Celebration of the Season

The mere mention of Christmas brings to mind fond memories of snowy chilly evenings sipping hot cocoa curled up next to a roaring fire. If, however, one wishes to experience and celebrate the most magical time of the year away from the possibility of frostbites and chilblains, make your way to the tropics, more specifically, Singapore, for an unconventional yet fun celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

During the month of December, Marina Bay of Singapore will gear up to celebrate this beloved holiday in style beginning with the Christmas Light Up 2012 where they hope to light up a route in and around Marina Bay to illuminate the area majestically in line with the spirit of the holiday.

Making your way to Singapore for a tropical Christmas does not mean that you need to forgo your holiday spirit. Singapore’s famous retail outlets will gear up this December to give you one of the best shopping experiences of your life so immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere and indulge in retail therapy this holiday. Buying gifts for your loved ones have never been more fun, for Orchard Road is famous for its ability to cater to almost any budget and you will be able to purchase almost anything ranging from budget items to designer goods at a number of popular department outlets.

In addition to the eclectic shopping choices Marina Bay has to offer, the area will come alive with concerts, exhibitions and musicals to ensure that you are entertained at all times. Furthermore, Singapore itself has a number of tourist attractions such as Sentosa Island and Arab Street as well a large number of Museums that tourists can frequent to pass the time.

So surround yourself with the holiday cheer and a panorama of seasonal decorations that will make Christmas come alive in the tropics by staying at Raffles Hotel Singapore. Once one experiences this holiday season at this Singapore hotel, they will definitely keep returning for more. This luxury hotel Singapore goes all out during December and decks the entire hotel in Christmas decorations, treats you to delectable seasonal delights upon demand and all in all leaves you wanting more.
