Competition - the driving force of progress :)
This country now definitely lives the period of optimism :)
Hard to remember when exactly but about 10 years ago media provoked competition among the municipalities in this country: which of the towns and cities will make the most beautifull Christmas tree. Initialy only several biggest towns took part in this unnoficial competition but now this became national phenomena. Even small district centers are making original Christmas trees :)
So in this report view to the Christmas trees in Lithuania 2019.
