Yes, it’s that time of the year. Cutting through the nippy cold of a December month comes the predictable warmth of Christmas, the festival of joy and giving. Although the tourism season in Goa is associated with a lot of beach activity, parties, electronic dance music, water sports, if you are here on Christmas day, it would be unfortunate if you do not soak yourself in the delights that the festival of Christmas really brings along. And trust us, there is really no place better than Goa as far as relishing the spirit as well as the more tangible joys of what the season brings.
We have listed below a whole range of activities which you can indulge in, on Christmas Day right from brunches, lunches, dinners. Let the fun begin. Choose your options and just go for it.
