Christmas in Singapore

Even though the weather is a constant 89º and there isn't a snowflake within 1,000 miles, the Christmas spirit is going strong in Singapore.  Along Orchard Road, the main street for shopping and tourists, there are a "bajillion" twinkling lights and Christmas trees.

The airport sends travellers off with a holiday twinkle in their eyes.

This is a three-dimensional "ornament" that visitors can walk through.
These round ornaments are two feet tall, so you can imagine how big the trees are that are holding them!

Is this a tree with lights or lights with a tree?

This is the lobby where I take my drum lessons.  It's not air conditioned, so imagine sitting in a hot garage in the summer with a Christmas tree.
