Greetings TAO Family and Friends!

Here we are in 2015 and it looks like a year full of great potential and positive change. Of course the New Year is a natural time to make new plans, new intentions, and new promises to ourselves and others. Remember these tips as you consider your New Year’s resolutions: make your goals as specific and behavioral as possible (instead of, “I will lose ten pounds,” try, “I will eat smaller portions and will exercise four times a week for forty minutes”); write your intention and plan down and keep it somewhere visible; share your intentions with a coach or encouraging friend; and create some way to monitor your steps to help you stay on track (use a calendar, an app, a coach, a checklist etc.).

This is high season in Mexico as folks from colder climes seek the warm weather and sunshine Mexico offers, but those looking for hot weather should keep in mind that Mexico's weather is not uniformly hot, and this is also one of the coldest months of the year south of the border.

Our team is excited about 2015 and we have lots of great plans for making the community the best it can be. Expect to see some great speakers at TAO this year, wonderful weather and developments in the Riviera Maya and countless reasons to visit. 2015 is the year to concrete our commitments, not only in our personal lives but also in our professional live too.

My thought of the month: Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. - Norman Vincent Peale.

All of us here at TAO are wishing you a wonderful new year, filled with the very best of health and happiness.

New Year's Day

January 1st

This is a national holiday and all-around quiet day. Most stores and businesses are closed as folks recuperate from the revelry of New Year's Eve. Museums, archaeological sites, and most tourist attractions are open on their regular schedule.

Riviera Maya’s Largest Rosca de Reyes

January 5th

On January 5th at 7pm, visitors and residents of the Rivera Maya are invited to gather on 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen to watch the assembly of the largest "Rosca de Reyes" ever made on the Riviera Maya. The cake will be assembled and displayed between 34th and 36th streets. If you would like to try a slice, bring a new unwrapped toy as a donation. The toys will be gathered and distributed to underprivileged children in the poorest colonies in the region so that they too may enjoy a gift from the Three Kings. Don’t forget to come by and say hello to us in the TAO stand!!

Three Kings Day

January 6th

January 6th is Three Kings Day in Mexico, known as the Día de Reyes. This is Epiphany on the church calendar, the 12th day after Christmas, when the Magi arrived bearing gifts for baby Jesus. In Mexico children receive gifts on this day, brought by the three kings, los Reyes Magos, Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltazar. Some children receive gifts from both Santa Claus and the Kings, but Santa is seen as an imported custom, and the traditional day for Mexican children to receive gifts is January 6.

Playa to Merida in Two and Half Hours

Previously, the route from Merida to Playa del Carmen took just over three hours and 30 minutes and you had to first pass through Cancun. The new highway has reduced travel time to just two and a half hours.

Mexico adds a new time zone in Quintana Roo

On December 4, the Congress of the Union passed the law of the Time System, with 258 votes in favor and 1 against, putting the eastern area of Quintana Roo in the same timezone as the East Coast of the United States, both located on meridian 75° west Greenwich.
