How different are the holiday seasons for people who live in hot climates? I grew up in a terrible place that is cold and snows for 6-8 months of the year… Which, during the holidays at least, match up to the ‘traditional’ image of the holiday season. If you live in like a desert or place that has palm trees how do you reconcile the traditional imagery of the holiday season with the fact that water cannot exist as a solid in your climate?
