    Christmas in Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Denmark

    Enjoy a Russian-themed holiday experience in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. The gardens' central square is transformed into a Russian village, though the highlight is the stunning, twinkling replica of St. Basil's Cathedral.

    A series of small villages throughout the gardens feature Christmas decor and shopkeepers selling Christmas gifts and traditional Danish snacks. Visitors can also watch fireworks displays and a performance of the Nutcracker. 

    If you go with kids, visit the Pantomime Theater, where children can see Father Christmas. Then go for a spin on some of the holiday rides, such as the Chinese Lantern, Russian Troika, Siberian Railroad and Music Carousel.

There's a Dickens festival every year in Galveston, TX also (Dickens on the Strand) ... and it's not just one building "transformed" like in SanFran, it's the whole street!

The Natchitoches Christmas lights are absolutely beautiful. If you haven't been to Natchitoches during the Christmas season, you're missing out. :)
