Solstice. The first day of winter. The shortest day of the year. However you put it, the season has changed as we begin to wrap up the year in Rocky Point and finish wrapping presents for under the tree. With Christmas coming up this weekend, don’t forget the “Navidad” season in Mexico continues through January 6th (Kings Day) – so if you didn’t get that package in time it can always be a Kings Day present! Let’s run down the weekend – and don’t forget to make your New Year’s plans!
