If in Martinique, do as the Martinicans do. That's the be-merry mindset for tonight as FIAF and friends transport ticket-holders to the francophone island and its unique Christmas traditions. As the evening's title hints, there's traditional carols to be sung as well as shrubb (a liqueur uncorked only for Noël), zouk dances, a Madinina band, and a holiday-appropriate feast. The menu includes acras, a classic Martinican appetizer; boudin creole; spicy chicken Colombo; caramelized ham des Mornes; and, to top it all off, blanc mangé coco. As a bonus, there's a raffle for two round-trip tickets to the Caribbean retreat.
