One of Santa Barbara’s favorite holiday traditions for the whole family is the annual Christmas Revels<\/a> musical production. This year’s story,\u00a0An Irish Celebration of the Winter Solstice,<\/em> is a joyous theatrical production celebrating the spirit and strength of the Irish emigrants who came to America in the early 1900\u2019s to build new lives in a new land. At sea over the holidays, these strangers bond over spinning stories, singing songs, and sharing seasonal traditions; friendships are formed, romance blossoms.<\/p>\n
