After most of my adult life in Asian cities where Christmas is not/was not really noticeable, I'm now living in a small town that seems to mostly run on tourism.
I'm partly amused, and partly annoyed and partly enjoying the fact that Siem Reap has a Christmassy feel. Hotels have light displays, bookshops sell tinsel and Santa Clause clothes for all sizes and the expat community is discussing which places have the best Christmas dinner.

Even our fried rice shop has put up tinsel and Coke cans! |

Bookshops around town are selling gift wrapping, decorations and Santa outfits for kids. This shop has a mannequin dressed in a red dressing and white beard. |
