Holiday Travel Tip: Don't Put Christmas Lights On Palm Trees...

Childish, maybe – but it’s true.

True confession: my wife is a huge Christmas fan. Unlike many festive years spent in the Northern Hemisphere, we’ll be taking in a majority of holiday celebrations in areas lined with palm trees and sunny beaches.According to my wife – that’s not very “Christmassy”, so we’ve set out in search of Christmas lights on palm trees, or anything else festive. After countless, immensely unsuccessful missions – we finally found out why Christmas is different down here…

It’s a beautiful world, and it’s high time to go explore it.
