Comment from Zoe Smith
With sweltering temperatures and not a snowflake in sight, Christmastime is a little different in Peru. That doesn’t stop the natives from getting in the festive spirit, though – Christmas light displays take over the city streets, American-style Christmas trees are erected in plazas and Santa Claus pops up at parties all over the country. There’s even a scheme whereby volunteers dish out free hot chocolate and cake to the poor on Christmas Eve.
