I just bought a bunch of xmas palms and foxtail palms.. I
went out of
town for 10 day right after buying them and a friend came
over and
watered them while I was gone..


Well, I don't think I would blame the friend.
New plants, change of environment, etc.

Looks like you might have a leafspot disease there but it's
probably secondary.
ie the leaves got damaged physically allowing a weak disease into
the damaged
area.

My guess is they got scorched - maybe come out of a shady store
onto
your bright windowsill?

Forget about sprays or fungicides. Don't water on the leaves,
especially if
they are in direct sunlight. You'll get a lens effect
concentrating the light and
burning the leaves. I would expect the new leaves to grow healthy
and in
due course, the older, damaged ones can be removed.

Beware of spraying air-freseheners etc in the same room.

It's a pain but they should recover given time and care -
watering and light
feeding, directly into the pot.
