I was once visiting in Bavaria during the Christmas season, and I have never seen such beautiful decorations as I saw there. Everywhere you looked, there were beautiful decorations, and crunching through the snow to walk around and look at them is one of my fondest memories.
I was in Regensburg one Christmas and it was beautiful - an old medieval town decorated in lights with a choir singing in the market square. It was enchanting.
Liberals will have us all wearing black burkas and using candlelight once they are done.
