Best Christmas Celebrations Around the World....



"Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God's perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year".

The Kinderweihnacht -- or Children's Market -- features an old-fashioned carousel, wooden Ferris wheel, steam train and Nativity scene trail.

The park features ice skating, gentle rides, a huge Christmas market and big top shows from Nov. 2014 – Jan. 2015. Sing traditional Christmas carols at Trafalgar Square and watch the New Year’s Even Fireworks Display in Central London.

In this Christmas city of the Netherlands, families can see parades and explore the Velvet Cave, which morphs into a Christmas market and Santa’s residence. See his roomful of presents and pet the reindeer. The cavern houses sculptures and an 18th-century chapel, as well as preserved mural drawings that date to Roman times. Thrill the kids with a train ride aboard the Christmas Express that runs regularly between Simpelveld and Valkenburg.
4. Los Angeles, California

Bring your cameras for lights and holiday action in theaters, malls and outdoor ice skating rinks (yes, even in 80-degree weather!) throughout LA. See the city’s largest Christmas tree (usually at least 100 feet tall) at The Groveshopping complex by the original Farmers Market, ride a miniature train through a holiday-themed village in Griffith Park and see a Nutcracker performance. Catch the classic Hollywood Christmas Parade (celebrating its 82nd year) live or on TV Dec. 1. Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm and the Disneyland Resort roll out the welcome mat with twinkling lights, festive parades, Santa visits and holiday sweets.

5. New York City, New York :- 


From elaborate holiday window displays at Macy’s, Barney's, Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue to outdoor ice skating and holiday shows, the Big Apple is at the core of festivities in the U.S. The fun begins with the annual lighting of Rockefeller Center’s giant Christmas tree (this year, Dec. 3, 2014.). More fun awaits at Bryant Park’s Winter Wonderland, featuring ice skating and more than 125 holiday shops. Christmas Spectacular starring the famous Radio City Rockettes is a popular tradition for many, so get your tickets early.
