Solution

This section explains the different steps taken to solve the challenge. Try to find a good balance between providing sufficient detail and not overloading the reader with too much information. Use admonitions, images, diagrams, code blocks, and tables to highlight and structure important information or provide additional clarification.

Admonitions

Anchor the decorations

Ensure that all festive decorations, especially electrical ones, are securely anchored. We don’t want them floating off into the tropical sunset!

Palm tree lighting

While on the island, make sure to hang your Christmas lights on a palm tree. It’s not only festive but also a great beacon for Santa to find you!
