Not just like the ones I used to know—I’ve never actually spent Christmas on the Gulf. But I’ve been thinking (and hinting) that it would be a pretty neat way to spend the holiday. The other day I was looking at some pictures of a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach vacation from a few years ago when we stayed in a Gulf Shores Plantation beach cottage, and it struck me that Christmas in a beach-side cottage would be quite an experience.
We could spend the winter break down there with family, and have all the space and privacy we need while still enjoying the resort’s amenities (hello indoor pool!). I’d wake up Christmas morning, have a cup of coffee on the balcony while looking out at the Gulf, and celebrate the day within the coziness of a private vacation house. Plus we’d get to enjoy the local festivities, like Bellingrath’s Magic Christmas in Lights, and engage in some Gulf-style Christmas shopping.
The hints have been laid out, so we’ll see what happens. If it doesn’t happen this year, then next year, for sure, I’m putting my Christmas-beach-cottage plan into action myself!
