Hong
Kong may be a city in China, but with its past history of being a British colony,
Christmas is still a major holiday. In fact the Christmas lights rival those in
western cities, and a lot of the Christmas trappings can be found, including the
Nutcracker, choirs caroling, Christmas music in the malls, etc. You can even find
real Christmas trees to buy, maybe even a Douglas fir!
You can also go for
a Christmas worship service. Some churches have a Christmas eve service as well.

some of whom are not all that small.
