Christmas Season in the Tropics

Lately I've been wondering about the Christmas Season.

I recognize that it is Christmas by the decorations at the mall, shopping centers and streets. It doesn't feel like Christmas though.

I think it has to do with the weather/temperature. Coming from the northwest, I'm not an expert at this, but when the weather is cold and the skies are darker; you need something to cheer you up. Christmas; a season of cheer and goodwill.

When the sun is out for like 11 hours a day, the temperature is warm and the winds are blowing (like those early autumn days in Portland) a need for cheering up just doesn't seem to be there. Everybody already is in good spirits and remains in good spirits.

Side notes: I braved a return to the Mai Tai bar. I may have to look up an eye doctor here. Woke up this morning with one eye hurting, I flushed it out with lots of water, but now its kinda cloudy, if it doesn't go away, I probably tore something......
