Whenever Christmas time rolls around and I see my city becoming all sparkly and ready for Christmas time, I start to imagine how other cities look on the Christmas time, how does it feel to be somewhere in a completely different environment from this here at home. Even though I absolutely love how Vilnius looks at this time of year, I think it would be so nice to spend Christmas time in a completely different location. So here are my top 5 destinations I would adore having a chance to come in the Christmas time.
1. New York, USA

I'm just throwing this one at the top of the list, because lately I have been having a very big urge to go and visit New York, this is the feeling I can't fully explain to myself, but something is really attracting me there and I've been dreaming about this city a lot. I imagine that Christmas at the Big Apple is quite the experience because pretty much every place is magical at Christmas but in my head New York is the place to be on Christmas time. I imagine strolling through the snowy Central Park as the sun is setting down, going to see the enormous Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center Plaza, going on a window shopping trip... I have probably watcher too many Christmas films which are set in New York to be honest, but I totally think this would be an amazing thing to experience.
2. Lapland, Finland
Can you image a better place to go on Christmas than the homeland of Santa Claus itself? I surely can't, if you ask me. With loads of snow, houses in the middle of the forest with crackling fires, meet and greets with Santa himself, enrolling in the Elf School (!!!) and making gingerbread cookies with the Mrs. Claus is really the picture perfect image!
3. Paris, France
I can only imagine how gorgeous Paris looks at night with all the Christmas lights shining around. You can go watch Christmas lights at Champs - Elysées, go ice skating under the roof of Grand Palais (I'm pretty sure this one would cost a fortune), go for a spin on the famous carousels, wander around Christmas markets and just in general experience this city in the magical Christmas time.
4. Prague, Czech Republic
Prague's Christmas markets are know to be one of the bests in Europe and they really create the festive spirit around the city, there are also a lot of ballet and opera performances which, I believe, should be very very good in Prague and the city is full of Christmas lights.
I have never been to Prague but this city looks exceptionally beautiful with its architecture, so I can only imagine how beautiful all these Christmas lights look among these ancient buildings.
5. Chicago, USA
T here is one huge Christmas market called Christkindlmarket and is inspired by Nuremberg in Germany, you can also go ice skating in the Lincoln Zoo Park and the Joffrey Ballet has an annual performance of the Nutcracker and I adore The Nutcracker, so this would be a dream!
But honestly, one of the main reasons why I would love to go to Chicago is that my God father lives there and I would do anything to spend Christmas there with him and his family.
