Vacation Island

 
Vacation Island
Similar to the golf cart parade, Since most people on the island drive golf carts instead of cars, they decorate them with ribbons, lights, shells, and anything else they can think of. There is also a golf cart parade that tours the town. Donations are then given to an orphanage in Nassau.

 Tickets are free, although they are limited, and donations are encouraged. The local children rehearse for months on the play, as well as the many songs they must learn. The holiday season also brings many events such as the annual Christmas musical at the local church. Many houses and restaurants also prepare for the holidays with lights and decorations - even though it looks a bit strange without any winter white snow. Every night, the lighthouse is lit up, while its lights sparkle in the night.

 The lighthouse has thousands of lights strung from its observation deck to its base. The first thing everyone notices during the holidays is the Hope Town Lighthouse, located in the North-central part of the island. Christmas and New Years are one of a kind on Elbow Cay. Out of the seven hundred islands that make up the Bahamas, Elbow Cay, a small island in the Abacos, is a wonderful place to celebrate the season with friends and family. For those wishing to escape to the sunny south, but still be relatively close to home, spending the holidays in the Bahamas is a great alternative.

  Every year, millions of people decide to spend Christmas and New Years in another state, country, or continent.
