I like the religious holiday first and the jingle bell stuff second. I find both meet well in the "Christmas Carol" films. I watch a bunch of versions but like the Alastair Sim version best. We also have a bunch of old house museums on spectacular sites (with great views) and they hold evening candlelight tours with ice sculptures and many lit trees. New York City is pretty cool at Christmas time. The big tree goes up next to the skating rink in Rockefeller Center. The Metropolitan Museum breaks out its Baroque nativity creche. Lots of kids and families around Radio City Music Hall for shows. Central Park looks amazing. Christmas is probably NYC's best season if not very comfortable weather wise. I also like watching the masses around the world on TV. I imagine London should be a cool place for Christmas
