As we move ever closer to the end of the year holidays, many Americans have decided that the best way to celebrate a white Christmas is by choosing to celebrate a white SAND Christmas on the beaches of Port Aransas. And because a holiday can’t be considered a holiday without some sort of celebration, you may be wondering if it would be possible to host a holiday gathering while you are enjoying the benefits of Christmas at the beach. Although not every vacation rental has the chops to handle a party, when you choose La Mirage, you will find that not only are we not like all those other accommodations, we encourage you to host your celebration and this guide to hosting a celebration to remember will help you get all the details right, while enjoying the holidays in Port Aransas!
First, Try Not to Be Distracted
This tip may actually be the most difficult part of hosting a gathering, especially when you walk inside our holiday hideaways for the first time. Comfort surrounds you, which is something your guests will love as well, but as you sink into plush sofas placed where the views of the television AND the seas outside you might forget the purpose of your travels. And you may find yourself falling into an impromptu nap, as well, but that’s ok; some of your best party ideas may come to you in your dreams. If you manage to stay awake, however, take a look around and realize that this space, the living room of your La Mirage escape, is spacious and roomy and will provide plenty of room for your small gathering of guests to be comfortable.
Let’s Talk Food
Every celebration revolves around the food that is served and our beautifully appointed kitchens are equipped to handle the job, offering modern appliances and all the counterspace necessary to hold your completed masterpieces. Just like your kitchens at home, your guests may find themselves gravitating to these cheerful spaces and as Christmas music streams easily due to high speed internet, the scents and aromas of baking cookies and the holiday turkey, and the laughter of friends and family who feel as comfortable and at home as you did from your first moments inside.
Time to Eat
The dining rooms of our La Mirage retreats are large spaces and as you watch your guests sip coffee, exchange stories, and maybe sing along with their favorite Christmas songs, you will feel your shoulders loosen, your soul begin to relax, and the smile on your face begin to widen. The holiday spirit isn’t always the easiest thing to find, but at your gathering, while you sit surrounded by a select group of your favorite people, you will rediscover what you thought you had lost long ago!
But What If the Gathering Is a Large One?
Our La Mirage vacation escapes are spacious, but maybe you are here for a family reunion or possibly you chose Port Aransas for the most important day of your life, the Christmas wedding you have been dreaming about since you were just a child. It’s true, a supersized group of people won’t all fit in the condos overlooking the water, but La Mirage offers an Event Center that is perfect for hosting gatherings of all sizes. Decorated for Christmas with lights and poinsettias, your guests will mingle happily, and if you planned it well, Santa may be able to drop by before his busiest night of the year!
Offering a variety of spaces that can be modified to groups of all sizes, discounts are available for gatherings with 10 or more people and if your holiday gathering is also a wedding, may we suggest a sunset wedding on the white sand beaches, located just off the private boardwalk outside the event center? Saying I do on Christmas Eve, surrounded by your friends, family, and sharing the spotlight with your partner in life is an experience that can and never will be forgotten, and we are honored to be a part of it in a small but important way.
More to Explore
The Event Center, however, is more than just a place to celebrate the holidays or your Christmas wedding; it offers a place to play and relax when the party is over—or before it even begins! Offering a 75-inch television that can be tuned to your favorite Christmas movie, gaming tables that include ping pong and foosball, and shelves filled with board games and books, this one stop fun center can be an integral part of your Texas adventures. Reserve your favorite La Mirage Christmas retreat and discover all the ways your holiday gathering will be one that people talk about for years to come!
