This year was my first Dubai Christmas;
and my first sunshine Christmas ever. Having spent the last 20
something years celebrating in the UK I was excited to experience the
festive cheer whilst in my Havaiana's. I hate winter, so I secretly
sniggered at my friend's facebook posts complaining about the UK
weather, the Oxford Street traffic and the queues in Selfridges. I
smiled with glee at the stunning, glittering Christmas tree standing
proudly on JBR beach, encircled by massive teddy bears
and presents that were reminiscent of the nutcracker ballet set.
