Syria, Jordan, Egypt

"Christmas trees and stores with ornaments were in all of the Arab states I visited (Syria, Jordan, and Egypt are all basically secular governments). In Jordan, huge inflatable Santa Claus dolls were in front of homes. In Syria, I sat down at the coffee shop in front of the National Museum and found myself gazing at a small, decorated Christmas tree."
