Hello Trish,
Normally what is there in mauritius in christmass is most mauritians go out to buy some toys and have the normal dinner at home .
Some people do extraordinary barbecues also trish.
For new years eve also. its the same trend.
You know lately Mauritians tend to go to hotels for the new years eve. As there is the cabaret .. and fireworks.
Its like a trend here. So this is what i can add from my part .
Nice Holiday,
