<p>An Abu Dhabi luxury hotel that boasted a £7 million Christmas tree decorated with gold and gems now says its holiday spirit may have gone too far.</p>
<p>A statement from the Emirates Palace hotel says it regrets &#8220;attempts to overload&#8221; the tradition of the Christmas tree by adorning it with ornaments made of gold, rubies, diamonds and other precious stones from a hotel jeweller.</p>
<p>The hotel&#8217;s message, posted on the state news agency WAM, claims the tree was not a stunt, but rather an effort to boost the yuletide mood for its guests.</p>
<p>Although officially Muslim, the United Arab Emirates features many signs of Christmas for its huge foreign population. Lights, carollers and Santas are fixtures in nearly every shopping mall.</p>
