I’m still getting used to seeing Christmas decorations in Singapore. It just doesn’t feel like the traditional, festive Holiday season when it’s 85 degrees and sunny outside. Everything looks very nice, but so, so out of place. Palm trees growing next to decorated trees, holly hanging from tropical branches, and Santa standing on fake snow that’s not melting… all examples of preparing for Christmas one degree from the equator.

better yet, 90 degrees and not a hint of Christmas decorations anywhere until and past Christmas. Been there, done that.
