Anyone ever travel to a Christmas Festival somewhere around the world or do you stay home and enjoy the local one near you, assuming there is one?

I personally stay home partially because of work, it is only the busiest time of the year in a resort town that I live in, but we do have a fun thing that happens on Christmas Eve. The Resort puts on a Festival Christmas Ice Show on their outdoor Ice Rink with Santa at the end and then they end that with 200+ ski instructors and ski patrol with Red torchs that ski down the main ski hill in a snake like manner for a "Torch light parade" when it is dark out and a firework show after that. Really quite fun.

Not much of a Christmas festival around here really. The highlight in our town is the local CFA (volunteer fire fighters) drives Santa around town on the back of the firetruck. Kids line up along the street waiting for the truck to turn up and get lollies. There are some outdoor carols one evening as well and a twilight market for buying a few extra gifts.

Your Christmas festival sounds magical :)
