The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, is decorated with festive illumination these days, the stores compete with each other in window dressing, and the townspeople, in joyful anticipation, crowd around with show-windows with gifts.

Inventiveness in New Year's surprises is sometimes amazing: for example, a few years ago, as a New Year tree in Vilnius, the local TV tower acted. A lot of glowing garlands stretched from its top to the bottom, about 30 thousand colorful lights pleased with their radiance of townspeople and tourists. This improvised Christmas tree is still considered to be the highest in the world, since the height of the TV Tower is more than 300 meters.
