Christmas in Aruba

Christmas feels different in the tropics.  No snow, it's not cold and there's lots of sunshine, humidity and warm weather.  But it's still the holidays and gets celebrated like it does in the colder climates.

Aruba is a small, desolate island in the Southern Caribbean. Parts of the island are extremely dry and covered with cactus which makes it feel very much like the desert where I live. This shopping mall near the docks was certainly a colorful addition to the local scenery even if it was a tourist trap.
