CHRISTMAS ON THE BEACH

 Forget the snowman, the reindeer and the Christmas sweaters. South African Christmas is all about blooming trees, bright colours, white sandy beaches and long swims. In this period of the year almost everyone is on vacation and families have free time to spend together.

 On Christmas day people gather for lunch, either at home or on the beach. But it is true that the choice of location may differ, what you will probably not miss is the braai, the traditional barbecue that usually lasts until late at night and becomes an occasion to congregate around the firewood, have fun together , open Christmas presents, as well as to relax, surf or practice other water sports.

Cape Town: Christmas carols and solidarity

Imagen
 For more than 20 years, Kirstenbosch Carols by candlelight have been the beginning of the Christmas celebration. Held in the magnificent Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, this event is the most popular in the city and runs for four nights (13-16 December).  It is the flagship fundraising project of the Kirstenbosch Rotary Club, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2018. Each night features a lineup of well-known local groups, while the Cape Town Concert Brass and Male Voice Choir is the main attraction.  Visitors wait for their favorite songs to play and enjoy typical food while thousands of lights illuminate the evening sky. This year, for the first time, there will also be Christmas-themed stalls. By Diaz Ortiz Edwin Uriel
