[There are holidays and celebrations and festivals back home, of course, and while this sounds like a lot of them, there isn't anything quite so grand that happens.]

Ehhh, it sounds wonderful, really it does!

Towns do get all decked out like that sometimes, for festivals and things, but it's only really when Circus comes to town that anything gets as fancy as what you're describing, I think.

If Christmas is about being with friends and sharing presents though, I really do hope I get the chance to celebrate it properly sometime. I might need to ask you two for advice on doing it properly, though.
