First sentence: In Puerto Rico, the sights, scents, and sounds of Christmas are wrapped in warm tropical breezes: tiny lights winking among swaying palm fronds . . . the mouth-watering aroma of slow-roasting pork competing with the perfume of exotic blossoms . . . joyous voices raised in song accompanied by guitar and maracas.
