For the first time in over 20 years, Roger Federer, 39, spent the Advent season in Switzerland again this year. “It was less than that to see all the Christmas decorations in the streets, villages and towns,” says the tennis star. “But uiuiui, it’s cold and it gets dark so early.” It’s no wonder that Federer is no longer used to it: Since the Australian Open takes place in January, he has always spent the Christmas days in the warmth in recent decades. For about 16 years in his second home in Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates.
