Christmas 2011 looks a lot different than in 2010. There’s a massive difference in temperature, no beach in sight, and the concept of all-you-can-eat-and-drink high-quality buffets will be missed. Yep, that’s right, our Christmas moved 7,000 miles West to the good ol’ US of A!

But the positives far outweigh the allure of Christmas in Abu Dhabi. We get to spend the holidays with family and friends – a rarity since our move out here.

On that high note, to all, we wish you a very merry Christmas!
