The Island is full of bright light and spirit, and everywhere on the Vineyard the message is the same. The holiday season of Christmas on the Vineyard is in full swing. Travel the brightly decorated main streets of our villages and you will find the rhythm of Island life changing. There is a bustle in the air, a sense of seasonal purpose — so much to do and so little time before the arrival of Christmas day.
