White Christmas Lyrics:
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Repeat
And may all your Christmases be white
♫ Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season ♫

The luxury Emirates Palace hotel in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) unveils a Christmas tree. It’s not just any ordinary tree. It’s decorated with over 11 million dollars’ worth of jewelry. Here’s more.
This Christmas tree is decorated with over 11 million dollars’ worth of jewelry. It is sitting at the luxury Emirates Palace hotel in the United Arab Emirates capital, Abu Dhabi.
[Janet Abrahams, Executive Director Sales & Marketing, Emirates Palace Hotel]:
“This year, we partnered with Mr Khalifa Khoury, who is the chairman of Star Gallery and he has provided us with 11 million dollars’ worth of precious stones and jewelry and that enables us to go for the Guinness world record for the most expensive Christmas tree.”
The tree is 42-and-a-half feet tall. It is decorated with diamonds — a lovely match for the main gold covered dome of the hotel.
This dome also hosted the world’s first ATM gold machine introduced to the hotel earlier this year.
A local jeweler provided the tree with 131 different jewelry pieces, including gold and precious stones.
Tourists and visitors stopped to take a picture near the unique tree, or just to stare at it in amazement.
[Janet Abrahams, Executive Director Sales & Marketing, Emirates Palace Hotel]:
“What we are trying to do is to give everybody who visits and everybody who is staying here the chance of to be part of something really special and unique.”
Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace hotel is where royalty and billionaires come for cappuccinos topped with gold flakes.

I am going to visit both in the next week and was wondering where I can see all the cool Christmas displays on suburban streets.
FOR MELBOURNE THIS LIST HAS SOME VISITOR COMMENTS AS WELL:
Colin says – ‘As veteran christmas lights watchers we have travelled far and wide. Two special mentions this year: Bowen Road, Lilydale – you can sit here for 15 minutes watching the lights synchronise with the music. Narracan in Vermont South – worth a visit. And our favourite over the last few years – Grassy Flat Road in Diamond Creek. Stroll along here on a warm night is a great way to spend an evening with the family.’
Kyneton. Caroline says – ‘My sister, who lives at Woodend, tells me that she used to take her children to see the lights at Kyneton. Apparently there was street after street of decorated houses. I’m not sure if they do it anymore. Perhaps someone from Kyneton could confirm if they do.’
8 Casley Place, Hoppers Crossing. John tells us – ‘Many Santas everywhere, Santa lanterns, flashing stars on the roof, strings and strings of flashing strobe ropes, icicles. It’s a great show and is usually on until 11 pm, or so.’
Nhill. Lisa says – ‘If you want to see lights you should see the ones in Nhill!!! hoowee…for a little town we are sure using our fair or is that unfair share of the power!! hehehe.’
13 Narracan Street, Vermont South. John says – ‘I am a Scrooge, and I almost enjoyed the light display!’
Cnr of Scarborough Drive and Hawthorn Road, Vermont South. Rachel says – ‘there is a fantastic house here. Also, another in Cascade Drive off Hawthorn Road, Vermont South. They are both well worth a look…Another street where lots of houses do the lights as you turn into Scarborough Drive, by the little park! Can’t miss them!’
11 Lebanon Cresent, Mulgrave. David says ‘This house has it all. Almost eveything is animated. From reindeers, santas, snowmen… You’re sure to be amazed when you see this house. With over 40,000 lights in total, it took about 8 weeks to set it all up.’
Daylesford Tce, Caroline Springs. Lisa says – ‘There are quite a few good houses. You will need to get out of your car and walk up to the windows to appreciate the finer details. There is also one good one on Springlake Avenue.’
Leila St, Deer Park. Lisa says – ‘it has a really bright house with lots of lights.’
Plumpton Rd (Between Taylors Rd and Keilor-Melton Hwy), Rockbank / Plumpton. Lisa says – ‘it is a dirt road but the house is absolutely fantastic!! The owner actually sells the lights and there is a council road sign on the Hwy directing you. It is also in the Melways.’
74 Eliza Street, Keilor Park. Thanks Sheryl for sending this one in…
41 Stuart Avenue, Cheltenham. Derek, Sharon, and Jaime say ‘Our house is pretty good too, and there are some others in our street also.’
14 Park Cres, Wangaratta. Chris sent us a note to say she’s put her lights up.
Castleton Court, Gladstone Park. According to Mark, there are ‘twelve houses decorated, all individual displays. Well worth a visit.’
Cnr of Songbird Ave & Vista Drive in Chirnside Park. Another keen spotter says there’s a house there that is ‘just great. Every year the owners do it up with thousands of lights, reindeers and sleigh, revolving christmas tree, and stars across the roof. Last year they added a huge snowman.’
James Cook Drive, Endeavour Hills. Kate says – ‘there are some absolutley amazing lights. They are just down from Southern Cross Primary school towards Hallam North road. Two houses next to each other do an amazing job every year!’

back onto the main road with a blow up santa, snowman, and santa and sleigh.’
The Australiana room at the Ballarat library. Edith says – ‘we have a Christmas display we are very proud of. It was arranged by one of the people who uses this room for research, Mandy Taylor. She is a great example of Christmas spirit, voluntarily putting up this display to spread some joy and happiness for all who come into the library. Not really a street display contender but worth a trip into the library if you are in or near Ballarat. We’ve been told we’re Ballarat’s answer to Melbourne’s Myer windows!’
Lakeview Drive Lilydale. According to Jenny, Alan, and Shannon the ‘entire neighbourhood gets into the spirit, and Hereford Road Lilydale/Mount Evelyn is also worth a look.’
