爱城圣诞节系列活动具体安排

云山水月

圣诞节快到了，爱城各种迎接圣诞的活动的确是精彩纷呈。

与其蹩脚翻译，不如大家自己慢慢研究慢慢看。

Already feeling the inexorable pull of the holiday season? That's because Christmas has somehow now spread to include the month preceding it, which is why we at The Journal have compiled a list of upcoming holiday concerts in the middle of November. You certainly can't question this city's commitment to the holiday. Barely a day will go by from the end of this month onward that won't have a concert or event attached to it. And many of them are quite reasonably priced, sometimes even free, so there's no excuse for not checking out a festive few. Keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg:
