The Land of Sand is not without its share of Christmas decor. It is everywhere. Every mall, every hotel, and even in the restaurants, you will see decorated trees, things trimmed with lights, signs that say Merry Christmas, and music filtering through the air of all types of Christmas songs and carols. 
Multiple hotels are having tree lighting ceremonies and events with activities for the entire family to enjoy. There are groups of carolers singing in the hotel lobbies, and the big guy in red has made a few appearances around town.
It makes things a little easier when the place you are living, that is so far from what you consider home, isn't completely devoid of the Christmas spirit. I have even started singing out loud in the mall along with the music that they are playing. I get a few looks but that's ok, I don't care! LOL...make a joyful noise friends!
