Certainly never seen anything like this before. Some homes were tastefully decorated - some just over the top. But, there was one home that offered "snow" to enhance the experience, so that was a special surprise. Nice to walk around if the weather is warmer but a long time outside in cold wind. Our guide was kind and easy to understand. There was several different groups on the same coach that spoke different languages, so the guides had to interpret their commentary for each group, sometimes while the other was speaking, so hard to get all the details while driving. But, overall, great holiday experience. Kudos to those folks who decorated their homes and withstand all these folks walking on their streets for week nights on end - they are the real champs in this experience!!
